Apacer AL830 HD Media Player adds snap on modular storage

Apacer was showing its range of memory and SSDs, but one really cool thing we spotted was their AL830 HD media player. The AL830 is by no means a new product, but what we saw at this year's Computex was a near finished design that adds modular storage to the device.

This shouldn't come as too much as a surprise since Apacer is primarily a storage outfit and added additional storage in this fashion makes perfect logical sense. On the back of the media player to get a fair selection of connectors including YPbPr output, AV output, optical audio output, HDMI output, LAN, USB 2.0 input and of course AC power input.The AL820 looks rather capable and we look forward...
