Syabas, the makers of Popcorn Hour announced their latest media streamer PopBox in CES 2010. 
The new device is a stripped down version of their top-of-line C-200 media player. It uses the same Sigma 8643 processor but lacks internal HDD slot and media server functionality of C-200.
On the positive side it has 2 gb internal flash memory & completely redesigned UI based on Linux 2.6 Kernel that rivals XBMC. Also the developers are planning to release some kind of SDK to support 3rd party application development. This could be strongest selling point as there are no devices in this segment with official support of 3rd party application development.
The best part is this device is going to cost $129! :clapping:
Looks like Syabas is ready to rock in March 2010... details and images here
