Myka's BitTorrent-friendly home media player now in production

by Darren Murph posted Jan 18th 2009 at 5:38AM

It's been just about ten full months since Myka's BitTorrent box was formally introduced to Earthlings, but it seems like the wheels are finally turning on production way across the way in China. According to a promising update on Myka's official website, "production is in full swing," which means that boxes should start arriving to eager consumers in around four to six weeks. For those unaware, this here box pulls down torrents as you sleep and then plays 'em back nicely on your connected HDTV. Users can also load up additional media on the inbuilt 80GB, 160GB or 500GB hard drive, but first you'll need to hand over $299, $349 or $459 depending on just how capacious you like your media servers.

[Thanks, Julio]

Is the internal hard drive upgradable? 500GB is nothing for BitTorrent. People with modern broadband (10/16/18/22 Mbps+) connections will fill that in a few weeks if that.

I read that this was a scam, and to be aware...I personally can't can't back this up, but this is what I saw....

Not the best reliable news source, I know. If anyone else knows anything, let me know.
