Okoro Debuts 2010 GX HTPC Line: USB 3.0, iPad Bundle, More
Now here's an idea. In order to draw more attention to your gear, just
bundle an iPad with it! In seriousness, this actually isn't a bad plan,
particularly when the company in question is Okoro Media Systems and the
product is an HTPC. HTPC control is a huge issue; do you use your
keyboard and mouse from the couch? Do you attempt to program a huge
universal remote? What's the best way?
Apple's iPad has opened up a new avenue for control, and the decision to ship this tablet with their Media Center PCs is a smart move. The iPad will be primarily used for multi-room music control, but with the right dongle, you could easily convert the iPad into a full-on IR remote. And this is all just the beginning. The new 2010 GX lineup is equipped with solid state drives, USB 3.0, 6Gbps SATA interface and the ability to record 4 HD programs at once and play back 7.1 channel audio. Full details (minus a starting price) is listed below; this might just be the most impressive HTPC we've seen to date, so we wouldn't expect it to come cheaply.
