Anyone have any experience with some of the new Android based media streamer, particularly the :

Sumvision Nano Slim Plus and the AC Ryan VEOLO

Are we like to see any official What Hifi reviews of these because they look quite intresting and wondered how they stack up against the like of the WD Live TV and Live HUB ?

Can I also make a suggestion that the media streamers with video are separated from the music only streamers in the review section Music Servers / Clients, it just seems wrong to me that they are being compared together.  For example the Pioneer N-50 is brilliant at music, but can it really be compared to a WD Live TV, one can do music only and the other does music and video, unless I'm missing something, it doesnt seem like a fair comparison.

RE: Andriod Media Streamers

Has no one used or know anything about these ?

Also what do the WHF team think of my comments regarding the media streamers review section ?

Agreed.

Agreed.

Anyone from the WhatHiFi team, is this something that can be done / looked at ?
