i got my popbox. too bad it's DOA. the power adapter is defective even though it says "QC Passed". the whole packages was cheaply built in China.

the build quality is on par or WORST THAN asus o!play and wdtv live.

also, i don't like the fact that the SD card reader is in the rear and doesn't fit flush in the unit. you also MUST use the SD card to store media library info. i ordered one with the wireless usb adapter, it takes up one of ONLY two usb ports. why didn't they just built the wireless adapter into the unit?!

i am also concern about the power plug. once again, it doesn't fit flush into the unit. when the unit didn't boot, i made multiple attempts to get the plug to fit. the power adapter have the prongs built into the unit, therefore it a pain to fit into my crowded power strip. the whole power situation just feels very poorly implemented.

i will be returning it to get my full refund and wait for the boxee box. the boxee box preview video gives me the impression that the build quality will be much better than the popbox. lets hope so.

I'm still interested in this device, but Syabas can't seem to get a product launch right. The C200 was brutal and PopBox is shipping up to be even worse at launch.
