The ZAGGbox is a media box with enough tech smarts to fill a space shuttle. Not only will it record and store music, videos and photos, but it automatically transcodes all captured video into 2 formats, one for the TV and the other for your mobile phone or device. Clever eh?

The unit will also stream your content wherever you want, a la Slingbox, and comes with an internal web server if that is your desire. There’s an iPhone client for easy mobile access too. Most importantly, it also acts as a universal remote control for all your home theater equipment, which means you can run everything from the single interface. Gosh.

How much? Well normal retail is a media trembling $999.00, but you can pre-order for just $799.00. Which gets you 1 TB of hard drive storage by the way. Here’s a preview write up.
