Digital Trends

In the vast swirling ocean of digital media, getting your files out of the office and into the living room is often a chore. Apple tried heroically with the Apple TV, but it's certainly not as popular as the iPhone or the iPod – or even as the Mac itself. Now Samsung is getting into the game with the MediaLive, a device that works with Windows Media Center PCs and supports dual-band Wi-Fi (over 802.11n in both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz bands). Be advised, though: While you're going to need a lot of popcorn with extra butter for this one, don't expect an entertainment experience that's always rich and pleasant.
