Along with their slew of new Windows Mobile 6 phones, i-mate are showing some soon to be released products at 3GSM.
First, and biggest, is the X-Stream Digital Media Hub, an LCD TV with a Media Center PC built in. It's running Vista Ultimate, has a 500 gig drive, 720 and 1080i support, a wireless router, PVR, a wireless router. Pretty much all you need in one box, with the advantage of no rats' nest of cables.
Not available yet (the ones at the show were apparently finished just in time to drive down from England to Spain) and no price announced.
The X-Stream is also a "wireless media hub", which means that it will stream all your media around the house. i-mate have kicked out a few other new products to work with this. First is the X-Stream Dock, a little black box running Windows CE. It'll hook up to a TV for wireless streaming, like the Apple TV. More interesting though, is that it will work like a thin client. With a monitor, keyboard and mouse it looks like a regular PC, albeit without a hard drive or any real power: all the work is done on the big machine over the air. Also no release date, but the price should be under £100 (around US$200).
