BlackBerry Media Box gets code name “BlackBerry Cyclone,” coming this fall?
by Otoniel Bruno
A little while back we let you know about the rumor of RIM developing a media box similar to Apple TV to compete, but there wasn’t much we knew about it then. This time around we see more info surface on it. If the rumors are correct, then we should be seeing it launch sometime around fall. If it’s done right, there should be apps and utilities for BlackBerry devices including both smartphones and tablets to be able to communicate with this media box, just as the Apple TV provides for its devices. Here are some rumored features of the media box by RIM:
- Of course it will connect to your TV via HDMI
- WiFI enabled
- Netflix
- YouTube
- Access to media devices on the WiFI network
The code name stands at BlackBerry Cyclone for now. What do you think RIM will name it officially? “PlayBook” threw us off a bit for the tablet, so there’s no telling what to expect now. Maybe PlayBox?
