Finally… after about 9 months from its original “soft” unveiling at CES 2008 (and its official press release in July and its “Coming Soon” list status at Best Buy), Samsung will actually ship their MR-00EA1 MediaLive Digital Media Adapter on October 15, 2008 to the public, according to the product page at Amazon.com. The only drawback is this product just works with 2008 Samsung HDTV’s exclusively: series 4, 26″ and up, series 5 and higher with a HDMI-CEC connection. On the upside, the MR-00EA1 will still sell for only $199, offer 802.11n connectivity, be capable of streaming and playing back 1080p video from a Windows Vista Media Center PC, and provide access to web content from MSN Internet TV, Amazon Unbox, and Netflix. Why Samsung? Why just limit this product to Samsung TVs? [via]

    Isn’t Vongo dead? Hm. 1080p and 802.11n are some pretty beefy specs, wonder what chip is powering this compact guy.

    Good eye, Dave. Yeah, VONGO as we know it is out of commission. It’s now only available through Starz Play via Verizon. I’ll make the edit.
