D-Link to launch first box with DivX Connected software

D-Link is the first company to sign onto the DivX Connected bandwagon. The forthcoming D-Link DSM-330 DivX Connected HD Media Player will be the first consumer device to use DivX's media platform for set top boxes.

Aside from the exceptionally long name, the partnership gives the DSM-330 a sleek interface for playing movies, music, or photos from a hard drive, or for streaming video from the internet. The platform supports online video from Stage6, and last time we saw it, you could also stream Google Video.

The DSM-330 is scheduled for release in the UK, France, and Germany later this year. No word on pricing, availability, or whether the box includes a hard drive or will just stream media from networked PCs within your house.
