Western Digital WD TV HD USB Based Media Player [WDAVN00BN USB Media Streamer]

This interesting, highly compact device just released by Western Digital, known as the WDAVN00BN WD TV HD Media Player, is billed as sporting the capability to turn any USB drive (or any USB based external HDD) into a media player courtesy of ‘dock-and-play convenience’ allowing for media streaming and playback in up to 1080p HD via HDTV sets.

Measuring in at a mere 1.6”x4.9”x3.9”, the somewhat intriguing WDAVN00BN WD TV HD Media Player comes with both HDMI and composite outputs and two USB ports – allowing simultaneous access - and retails at just short of $130 complete with a bundled My Passport external HDD stand, remote, composite A/V cable, AC adapter and media converter software.
