Buffalo, at the Computex 2006 event in Taipei, announced the LinkTheather, its new wireless A/G Media Player (PC-P4LWAG) with Philips and Mediabolic technology. Becomes the first multimedia devices that supports Intel’s ViiV technology, LinkTheather is powered by Mediabolic’s Media Player software and Phillips Nexperia media processor that lets you broadcast media files wirelessly from their Intel Viiv technology-based PCs to other rooms in the house. It offes an easy-to-use TV-based user interface where users may browse their favorite music, photo, and video files, and access a wide variety of Internet-driven applications via a remote control. DLNA and uPnP media servers are supported as well.

“The ever increasing amount of entertainment choices available to consumers has created a need for a platform that unites those options into a single, manageable solution,” said Morikazu Sano, senior vice president of global marketing at Buffalo. “Intel Viiv technology handles this nicely, and Mediabolic’s powerful software gave us the building blocks to create a new wireless LinkTheater product so that it works in the Viiv ecosystem while simultaneously allowing us to remain focused on the needs of our customers. Our new LinkTheater is a compelling product designed to work seamlessly with Intel Viiv technology-based PCs and other DLNA and UPnP media servers and delivers new entertainment experiences that consumers seek.”

Buffalo LinkTheater Wireless-A&G Media Player (PC-P4LWAG) will be available in late June in US with a price tag of $249.
