Well, I should start off by saying that I purchased the Popbox when it was first released over a year ago I think around July , with the intention of doing a review soon after.

However, the release was quite possibly one of the worst releases I have seen for a media player, and there were just too many things wrong to even warrant looking at. Fast forward a year and many of the issues that were present at launch have been fixed. The concept behind the Popbox 3D was good, but overall execution just did not follow through. Otherwise there are many better options out there including the Popbox V8. Hi, my name is Damian, and I'm tech gadget addict!

Although I always had some interest in technology, it wasn't until I got my EX and more importantly found Mediasmartserver. When I am not writing for Mediasmartserver. Nice review as usual Damian.

Good morning. I really liked your review. I would like to include your review on my blog and translated into Spanish. You give me permission to use your photographs and content? Previous post: Toys, Toys, Toys…. Privacy Policy Advertise Contact. Links monetized by VigLink. All rights reserved.

What is nice about having a 3rd party jukebox like Eversion is that it gives you the ability to manage your jukebox remotely important for me and you can get a consistent UI across any media player that supports I believe right now Popbox and PCH are the only media players supported. Hopefully we will see development of a music and photo app down the road to compliment Eversion.

One feature of the Popbox V8 is the App market. This is an area where the user can install free and premium content. As currently the Popbox V8 is not targeted at the U. The focus instead is bringing on premium content from the European markets, and I am sure if Syabas gets to the position where they can also bring in premium U. S markets.

You can find a list of current content partners here. From the main menu you can access the App Market which will bring up a list of all available apps or you can filter based on a variety of categories. Simply scroll through, choose the App you are interested, and click on it to begin the install process. There is also a Login section where you can create a username for future purchased Apps. For owners of the PCH series, you are probably already aware of the App Market as it is available on those devices as well.

I tested a few of the Apps and overall they provide a very clean and straightforward UI, as you can see below with the Revision3 App. Once a video is selected for playback, it automatically launches into full screen mode.

Of course the type of content will determine the picture quality, but from a few clips I tested the quality was very good. Overall, the Popbox V8 does a very nice job aggregating a variety of online sources into a visually and user friendly interface. If Syabas can continue to bring in developers and premium content, then the App Market could be a very focal point of the Popbox V8, especially for users who are looking for more then just a local playback machine.

I am happy to report that for the most part the Popbox V8 met or exceeded my expectations. As is typical with new players there are still some bugs to be worked out, but nothing that I came across during my testing that I would consider a deal breaker. Well, there are a variety of factors that can help with a decision. The Popbox V8 is probably better suited for someone who is more conscious about cost or who is looking for access to premium content understanding that this will come at the expense of a locked down system, no internal hard drive capabilities, etc… Given the size of the Popbox V8 combined with a portable USB drive, it could make a great portable jukebox.

Also, regarding availability, as mentioned earlier the Popbox V8 is currently not offered in the U. S market. Syabas has mentioned that they will monitoring the success of the Popbox V8 in determining whether to bring it to the U.

S, and I would think getting premium U. S content would be a big driving force to U. S availability. You have probably seen a few mentions about the original Popbox. I am still debating whether I do a review on it for a little side by side comparison to the Popbox V8. I will give it some thought if I think it will add value the main reason being the original Popbox is available in the U. S, but in many respects the feature-set is different from the Popbox V8.

Syabas, please bring this to the U.
