Popcorn Hour A-200
From NMTWiki
The Popcorn Hour A-200 is the first small form factor NMT that has Sigmas 8643 chipset. This chipset has additional cpu power and new licenses and applications to enable even more formats that are accepted on the A-110. The extra power means that files with bitrates well over BluRay specs can be played and file transfer are currently about 3 times faster than the A110 and expected to rise even higher.
