HD Nation Fan mail-Acer Revo Review by Paul J Roberts
OK, so I sat down with my Acer Revo 3610 and Boxee Beta to get my weekly fix of Revision3 HD Nation and what do I see? Hosts Robert Heron and Patrick Norton reading viewer mail and I hear my name! Whaaaat? Stop, rewind, play…play……..TODAY!!!
Sure thing. A viewer named Mark from Perth, Australia wrote in asking them to do a review of the Atom Ion Acer Revo 3610. Mark went on to say that they may also “get a kick” out of a web site featuring a Revo 3610 review with video of Robert and Patrick from HD Nation! They mentioned my site by name, show a screen shot, and mention the review was pretty cool. Nice!
Robert, Patrick, and Mark; thanks for the props! I’m, for once, speechless.
The video does force a commercial, but it’s quick.

I released two new Boxee apps over the past two weeks; MSNBC Video Podcasts and Soma FM-2. Both are simple feed apps, but I have design plans for each to make them more attractive.
The MSNBC Video podcasts are eight of the most popular shows on MSMBC. Each is the full episode and is auto updated with the latest one. (more…)

The Boxee Brown, a cube-like device that shares Internet content with your TV, is scheduled to go on sale this spring.
With the Boxee Box being crowned ‘Last Gadget Standing’ at CES last night, the ball will certainly start rolling for Team Boxee in the coming months.
The award is decided by a live demonstration and voted on via crowd applause at the event each year. It seems that “the box” narrowly beat the Plastic Logic’s Que e-reader and the Intel Reader, both of which scan text and reads it aloud. (more…)

Flash Beta 10.1 now has an updated version. They have gone from version 1p to 2p as of December 17, 2009. Nvidia also updated their Ion video driver to to a 195.81 Beta.
Though, some users of these latest beta releases on Ion machines have claimed to have lower overall quality of playback. Some had dramatically lower quality. I hope to test both out here real shortly and post some updates.
And since Boxee Beta now supports Flash and Silverlight GPU acceleration, this is a match made in heaven!

I have a blog post with video coming up after the public release of Boxee Beta. I’ll explain how Boxee Beta works and how the Revo 3610 handles it all.
I’ll cover applications in Boxee that utilize GPU acceleration such as: Flash 10.1 Beta 2p, Silverlight, Move, and DX. Should be an interesting post. May require two posts!
Stay tuned come January 7th after CES.

Nothing says it like a picture or in this case video. Here are three Acer Revo 3610 Atom Ion Video demos covering H.264 files, Hulu Desktop & IE, and Boxee. They will give the understanding of how smoothly the unit plays! Since I did not shoot this in HD, as I don’t have a HD cam yet, you will not get to see the fantastic clarity of the HD picture the Revo 3610 creates. I found that no one yet has posted any video of the 3610 on Youtube or Vimeo showing its functionality. So, I thought, why not? I’m not a great demo commentator or professional at this, so be gentle. 
Many of you have been waiting for a full tilt review of an Acer Aspire Revo 3610 Atom ION 330. Well, here it is. Possibly the first one on the Internet with this level of detail. It’s taken a week of use to get the full impression of it’s power and abilities and this review should leave no doubt! So, here goes.
Some of you may already know that I’ve been on a quest for the ultimate “cut the cable” solution and save $70 + a month on crappy cable service with bloatware content. (more…)

So, I got my Acer Revo the other day and decided to show a few un-boxing pics. I figured this would tide you over until I finish the testing I’m doing for a full on user review. I was in a rush to plug the darn thing in, so my photography skills were lacking that day. But, here goes….
