Is it a coincidence that "stream" and "extreme" are such similar
sounding words? Just take a look at the totally radical dude that's
slathered all over HSTi's CES booth and decide for yourself. The
follow-up to last year's Wireless Media Stick, StreamStick is a
wireless receiver geared at manufacturers that will allow them to
provide media streaming from a dedicated device to any number of USB
port-packin' TVs, DVD / Blu-ray players, game consoles, and set top
boxes, via-WiFi. For the end user, this means that when you plug the
USB stick into your TV, the streaming copy of Troll 2 you just rented
from Amazon (for instance) will appear as a file that you can click on
and play, as if it was locally stored. "The StreamStick," says
President and CEO Ramesh Uppal, "enables content providers, of any
size, to access a multitude of media players, exponentially increasing
their customer reach while realizing new revenue streams that they
wouldn't otherwise have." And we know how much you love revenue
streams! Check out the PR after the break for all the nitty-gritty.
