But no HDMI port on the Seagate?!?? These guys nuts? 1. No HDMI - for a HD product? What on earth? Are they literally CRAZY? 2. Ugly design, looks like a phone answering machine of the Rockford Files era. 2. Locked into FreeAgent Go with that dock, get lost Passporters seems the message, shameless promoing their own hard drives. But that strategy will backfire, as I've never actually seen a FreeAgent in the wild, whereas Passports are like sand, everywhere. 4. No 1080p, surely you jest? 5. Costs more and not yet available. WDTV wins hands down, and with the new firmware update even more so. WD should just skip Fujitsu, and buy up Scotts Valley, put them outta their misery.

What's the special sauce here? Normal people do internet content on laptops (and get bored with it) and get HD from DirectTV or Comcast PVRs, and maybe do a prefab ProShowish photo montage DVD disks, if lucky. Betweeners get a $50 Philips DVD player with a USB2 port and stick a USB flash stick in or burn a data DVD, the xvidish legally dubious TV and movie downloads, starting to creep into mainstream. Edgers cull from SANs/PS3/360s, and hack up AppleTV or Archos and go XBMC or TV Cardish BeyondTV and Sage and download things in 1.3 gig 720p. And firmware hack up everything. The WD TV and Seagate product falls into the Between market. WD TV is better and cheaper, and shipping. What’s the special sauce here?
