X2 recently announced a strategic partnership with DAVE.TV, a global IPTV digital entertainment distribution network, in which the companies are working together and collaborating in building cutting-edge IPTV and ITV platforms. The IPTV MEGA PC is just the first of several next generation IPTV devices to come. The unit directly integrates IPTV technology allowing for more personalized entertainment for the user and access to thousands of hours of video, music and other digital content."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/x2_mega_iptv_pc.jpg" /><br /><br />Given the enormous success of VOIP over the last few months/years, I really hope that IPTV takes off too. This MCE unit is designed to give consumers an easy and fast way for downloading and watching videos, sharing pictures, linking to mobile devices, listening to music, playing games, connecting to home theater components and systems, accessing all media/data types, connecting to other PCs, and more. There is tons to say about this unit in terms of the promise it bring to the TV arena as well as the general central media management solution, but time will tell about how well it is accepted.
