Last year Kiss introduced the succesful 1600 media player. In the meantime the company was taken over bij Linksys, which is a company that is owned by Cisco. Now the mediaplayer has a DVD player and we were curious if an update will arise in the nearest future. Or, even better, can we expect a new version which is fitted with a Blu-ray player?
To answer this question we went to Linksys' stand and asked PR Manager Mike Duin what he thinks. Duin said he couldn't see how and when Blu-ray will fit the product's schedule. Another spokesman of the company had a different answer to this question. This man said he could see a blue future for the Linksys Kiss 1600. 'Especially around Christmas,' he winks.
A request from us was to add an internal hard drive since this would make the product stronger. The spokesmen both said that they didn't saw this happening since this would kill their low price.
Well, too bad. The product isn't new enough by maybe adding a Blu-ray player. It needs HDD! Don't you think?
