Stream your movies with the teeny-tiny Crystal Accoustics PicoHD5.1

We thought the Apple TV was small, but it looks like an oversized and overweight piece of tech from the last century in comparison to the Crystal Accoustics PicoHD5.1 media streamer.

Granted, the PicoHD5.1 doesn’t look like coming anywhere near the Apple TV for quality, as it’s made out of plastic rather than metal but it’s no larger than a memory card reader, so you can tuck it anywhere you want and nobody ever need see it.

The Crystal Accoustics media streamer is absolutely dwarfed by the remote control it comes with. Despite that, there’s still space for component and HDMI ports, and there’s even a USB port crammed in as well.

Whether the PicoHD5.1 can match the Apple TV when it comes to onscreen software remains to be seen, but we can’t help but like the look of this teeny device.

Some info about what media formats it plays would be more useful, informing us about a tiny product and nothing else is not much use to anyone!
