MvixCommunity is proud to have gotten the scoop on a brand new media device that MvixUSA is set to release in just a few short weeks!
Here's what we can tell you right now. MvixUSA has not been working with prior partners on this product. This means that the new media center device will be using new chips and chipsets. This in turn means even more formats will be supported. As a teaser, the new unit, titled the Mvix Ultio (isn't that Latin for 'revenge'!?), will support FLAC, MKV and H.264! It is rumored to also have an embedded UPnP and a bittorent client.
Perhaps the best news will be that the majority of the Linux-based code will be provided for free and shipped with the device itself! Certainly, this is proof-positive that MvixUSA has been listening to the community and the clamors for opening up the code. Another benefit from MvixUSA producing this product themselves is that feedback will go directly to the manufacturer and they will be able to fix issues themselves.
As for price, we will just say that the price will be extremely competitive. Shipping should start right around the start of June 2009.
Stay tuned for further updates.
