HP MediaSmart Server EX485 and EX487

Whoa!  Hang on a second here.  Christmas is over and I have survived a return trip of 12 hours and I wake up to this news!  There is no sense in me hashing over all the details when it has already been done.  And quite well I might add.  Phil over at MSWHS.Com has a great Roundup Article that you should start with first.

This will no doubt be the news for a while so if your a home build user you will just have to wade through all the news for a bit.  I’ve read through most of the reviews and articles and will no doubt give you my unbiased opinion soon.  I do hope to see the new HP software at CES though.

My reading of these reviews and articles shows that HP will be taking the Zune approach to new software updates by making the updates available to older models.  I certainly hope this is the case.  This would be good for HP but I wonder how they will handle the RAM upgrade issue for the EX470 and if the update will require more than 512MB of RAM.

Ok, I told myself not to ramble on about this news and just publish this roundup article.  I’ll go over this more in depth in a future show.  Sorry that I’m last to the party but hey, this is a podcast not a live TV show!
