Given that Networking media is expected to be a huge thing at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Neuros Technology's contributions, most notably their Linux-based open source embedded media center - the Neuros OSD – will be a sure sight at this year's CES.

IGN reports that using the OSD, users will be able to record from a wide array of devices and then read and write to iPods, PCs, Smart Phones, PSPs, etc.

For the average person (all the non-techy folks out there), this means that all of your portable devices can now be linked to your entertainment center with relative ease. The unit is priced at $229.99 and will be showcased at CES along with several new products.

We'll update you with more bits regarding this years CES as the news comes. Stay tuned.

The Neuros Recorder 2 might be turning one year old in December, but it doesn't diminish the awesomeness of the device. In fact, people who've been looking for an excuse to buy more tech will probably be pleased to hear that the Neuros 2 is once again on sale.

We picked up word of another Amazon markdown, and the Neuros was one of the products getting a price reduction. The Neuros is currently being sold for US$ 99.99, and the sale only has two days left. For those who haven't heard of the doohickey, the Neuros Recorder is a mini digital VCR your PSP, iPod Video, cellular phone, or other handhelds.

Now, before you start flaming us with sentences like "QJ sucks," or "Woohoo I wanna have ur babyz!" it would be good to note that the Holidays are coming. For the budding video editors out there who want to make skating trick vids while playing Tony Hawk on your PSP, or the gamers who know someone who could use this, it would make a pretty interesting gift.

If you wanna grab more information, check out the review we made on it some months back. Just remember: contrary to the comments on the linked article, we're not advertisers. We just have the very bad tendency to sound like them when we're in a drunken stupor while writing. Enjoy!

Electronics manufacturer Neuros, the same company that made the brilliant MPEG recorder 2, have announced a new product today that plans to become the MPEG recorder 2's successor.

The product is called the Neuros OSD (Open Source Device) and uses a linux-based distro to turn the device into a fully-blown media center. The new bundle of Neuros kit has been built on the new Neuros Open source platform, and features a brand new chipset (TI-320), a USB host, and an Ethernet connection. This device has all the features the MPEG4 Recorder has, but with the experience gained from the MPEG4 Recorder, Neuros have created an even better package.

The best thing about this recorder is that the down-to-earth people from Neuros actually encourage you to 'hack' the device, it's what it's been designed to allow. Being linux-based this device enables you to watch and listen to all your content where and when you want without the hassle of compatibility or DRM issues. The OSD Beta also features a super-fast dual core multi-media processor, the ability to record from any source and in a file format that suits you.

The OSD beta offers much more than this. More details on the product, where to get it, and a reminder on how you can win a Neuros MPEG Recorder 2 after the jump!

Neuros, most famous for their PSP recorders have had a bit of a roller coaster with their 442 PMP. This player has been on the market for a good year now, but in this time it has gone down heavily in price, just check out this for a comparable price range. The PMP features a 40GB hard disk, which you can place all your music and video on. The best feature about this PMP is how you can connect it to a DVD player or TV and record up to 150 hours of video with audio in real time.

Compatible video formats are MPEG4, DivX3.11/4.05/5.0, and WMV v9 formats, and all this will be displayed on the crisp 3.5" screen. The battery life is really good too, 5 hours for video and 9 hours for audio only, and the battery is fully rechargeable. It accepts the usual music formats including MP3/ADPCM/WMA/AAC and the firmware is fully upgradable to handle newer codecs and software flaws. The player is going for a very cheap $349 and includes headphones, USB cable, owner's manual, composite video Input / Output cable, Installation CD, AC adapter, leather carrying case.
