Conceptronic ships Grab 'n GO Full HD media streamer
In the quickly-growing realm of media streamers, there's at least a modicum of a chance that Conceptronic's oddly titled Grab 'n GO Full HD media player has slipped from the forefront of your mind. If so, the outfit is gunning to jar your memory by announcing that it is now shipping said piece to eager consumers. The release also noted that SAMBA and NFS clients have been added, and it's pretty much ready to "stream all digital media files to a TV in Full HD 1080p resolution." Furthermore, you'll find a gigabit Ethernet jack to handle all that data, and the built-in USB port enables external storage to be added locally. Sorry, still no price.[Thanks, KJ]

But does it handle MKV packets?
=============================
Oh man, I went to the site to look up my answer, and yes, yes it does!

Don't get your hopes up too soon, Popcorn Hour streams MKV's but has all sorts of bugs during reviews. Some show promise but need further implementation. It may stream MKV but the interface sucks or whatever, wait for reviews to come out before spending the cash.

I have no problems playing MKV on my POPCORN HOUR.
This player does not play FLAC.

The web site says about SMB and NFS:
"Currently only NAS devices with a UPnP AV Server are supported. Samba and/or NFS support will be added in the future. When this feature becomes available, we will release a firmware update which can be downloaded from www.conceptronic.net or the Internet Upgrade option in the CFULLHDMA."
which would seem to contradict the announcement?
