Stylish LG XF1 500GB Multimedia Hard Drive Announced Packs a HDMI Output, Does1080i Playback and Hates Macs

There are a bunch of external hard drives out there and it's really hard
to pick one, but when we laid our eyes on something as stylish and chic
as the new LG XF1 500GB multimedia hard drive, we got sold the same
moment. A 500GB machine with an USB interface and HDMI output, the new
LG XF1 is the company's first multimedia HDD that plays high def content
from AVI, Xvid, and MPEGs 1, 2, and 4 files directly onto your TV set in
1080i quality.

Available with smooth curves and gorgeous gloss-black finish, LG FX1 is
not much of a Mac lover as it packs a codec decoder that only reads
FAT32 and NTFS exclusively. The devices features on-onboard
touch-sensitive buttons for navigation (say bye bye to the remote) and
for connectivity it also comes packed with a composite AV output and a
mini-USB jack.

Although it's a damn pleasing addition - aesthetically speaking, the new
LG XF1 lacks H.264, WMV and MKV support and misses out on a few features
that would've turned it into a hot seller. Let's hope LG can do a bit
better next time …
