Quick review

The good: Fairly easy to set up and use, basic functionality works well enough
The bad: Poor interface, limited media control, lack of additional features, expensive to add wireless support
Verdict: The Mediaplayer II isn’t nearly enough of an improvement over it’s capable precedessor. A poor interface and lack of extra features means it’s unlikely to make an impact in this market
Key specs: Ethernet, HDMI, USB
