Introducing Diamond's New MP1000 Media Wonder HD Media Player

Diamond-MP1000

Today we're reviewing the new network media player (NMT) from Diamond Multimedia, the MP1000 Media Wonder HD for just under $130. We seem to be seeing more and more media players on the market in about the same price range that allow you to play the media that you've collected on your home network.  Like the Patriot Box Office, ASUS O!Play, Western Digital TV Live, and Seagate FreeAgent Theater, the Diamond Media Wonder HD connects to your local network via 10/100 Ethernet or wireless (with additional adapter, not supplied) and plays media on Windows Shares, via uPnP media servers, or from attached USB devices.

For the past two decades, Diamond Multimedia has been widely recognized as a pioneer in the graphics, sound and communications industries and as a key player in launching the multimedia revolution. Diamond offers a complete solution that brings multiple technologies together under one brand. For their HD media player, and other projects, Diamond has partnered with some of the top technology companies in the industry including AMD/ATI Radeon as a graphics provider.

Diamond is currently producing two media players released to the market, the MP1000 which we have, as well as the $60 MP700 HD Media Wonder that is designed to be more mobile than it's big brother but doesn't contain an HDMI port. Let's now take a closer look at the MP1000 Media Player.
