-------- QNAP NMP-1000 NETWORK MEDIA PLAYER REVIEW ( -at -) APH NETWORKS

------------

Dear Media friends,

APH Networks has published a new review that your readers might enjoy. A post

in your site's news section would be greatly appreciated!

* Title: QNAP NMP-1000 Network Media Player review ( -at -) APH Networks

* Description: When I started to plan the upcoming review schedule for APH

Networks early last month, the influx of new network media players onto the

market really caught my attention. Providing more digital media integration

with your living room audio/video equipment than ever before, long gone are

the days when we were restricted to watching certain videos on our computers

only, or swapping a bunch of CDs every time you wanted to listen to those

songs on the big system. Last month, we reviewed the Patriot Box Office

network media player, which delivered excellent media compatibility for a

very low price of admission, but failed to provide the kind of experience

users would come to expect for a home entertainment device. Inevitably, there

are compromises due to its cost. At the same time, I also began testing

QNAP's NMP-1000 network media player. QNAP is known for making absolutely

brilliant network appliances in both performance and reliability, such as the

QNAP TS-439 Pro network attached storage system we examined back in September

last year. But here's the thing: The QNAP NMP-1000 retails for $400 at press

time -- effectively four times the price of products such as Asus' O!Play and

the Patriot Box Office as aforementioned. It is probably no surprise that you

are wondering at this point what makes the NMP-1000 so much more expensive

than other products that carry out pretty much the same tasks. And you know

what? I was asking the same question before I got my hands on these products

as well, haha. Is the QNAP NMP-1000 truly the ultimate, no compromise, fully

featured high performance network appliance with multimedia features for the

home user to justify its price tag, or will it fail to hold its own against

the competition? To answer all these questions and address everything else in

a detailed and thorough manner, well, let me present to you this week's

review!
