We have truly entered into the
digital age, it is now possible to interconnect your
computer, television (HD or otherwise), audio system
lighting and heating controls for your home and then
control it all from a centralized location.
This is something that was actually only dreamed of
a few years ago, but as much progress as we have
made we more than likely are only seeing the tip of
the iceberg of what lies ahead for all of us.
Which brings us to the remarkable
device we are reviewing from Vantec called the
AVOX|Jukebox, here is a device that allow you to turn any 2.5" notebook
drive into a portable audio/video player. With
an interface that is so simple even a 10 year old
can figure it out you will be able to play movies,
music, or watch a slideshow of your favorite
pictures simply by connecting it to the AV inputs on
your television.
