The current Popcorn Hour streaming boxes are popular amongst media center enthusiasts as a DLNA and internet streaming device. The next version of the Popcorn Hour will be called A-300 and will be available October 18, 2011.
Popcorn Hour A-300
Popcorn Hour plans to release their newest streaming box later in October, dubbed A-300. Inside it has an 800 MHz CPU, USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet for fast network and internet streaming.

The box acts as a NAS Server and DLNA streamer, which means that you can stream content from other devices (such as PC/MAC, NAS, mobile devices) onto your HDTV. A new feature is the Apps Market where news, internet radio, social media, and video-on-demand TV Apps are available. At the moment users can find more than 80 free Apps. Popcorn Hour A-300 naturally supports the Digital Media Jukebox found in previous editions, too.
