I was searching for Media Center stuff for @ home, when I came accross a device called the Lamabox.
Looks like a nice device;-) See http://www.lamabox.nl/ |

There's a mistype on their index page.
QUOTE Due to the large demand we kindly as for some patience Should be: QUOTE Due to the large demand we kindly ask for some patience Anyway, it looks like a great idea, but it only sounds useful if one is within a very large city with a free wireless internet connection, and free wireless internet connections tend to be a bit slow. This would probably work great for audio, but I can't really see it working very well for video, unless it is inside some hotel with a free high-speed wifi network that it can tap into. |

It looks wonderful! I might just go and pick me up one of those suckers! Isn't it amazing what technology can take us too? I do think that it would be awesome for audio purposes, but like Cerebral Stasis said, it would be not as good for the video.

Woa that looks like "uber l337" lol. I wander if it is legal? What if I order it and get arrested lol. Thats still pretty cool though, you can watch movies, download games, music. I hope you won't get in trouble for using the "P2P" features too.

No, P2P isn't illegal, but transferring copyrighted material that would normally be purchased across a P2P network in order to own it for free is illegal. P2P is just a very efficient way of transferring large files (since one shares the file with others, instead of all the bandwidth being sucked from one website).

the device simply put is actually a standalone peer to peer downloader with some added "features", not much it can do that can't be done by a computer so I guess this will not be that popular in the long run.
