Given that Networking media is expected to be a huge thing at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Neuros Technology's contributions, most notably their Linux-based open source embedded media center - the Neuros OSD Â? will be a sure sight at this year's CES.

IGN reports that using the OSD, users will be able to record from a wide array of devices and then read and write to iPods, PCs, Smart Phones, PSPs, etc.

For the average person (all the non-techy folks out there), this means that all of your portable devices can now be linked to your entertainment center with relative ease. The unit is priced at $229.99 and will be showcased at CES along with several new products.

We'll update you with more bits regarding this years CES as the news comes. Stay tuned.

The Neuros Recorder 2 might be turning one year old in December, but it doesn't diminish the awesomeness of the device. In fact, people who've been looking for an excuse to buy more tech will probably be pleased to hear that the Neuros 2 is once again on sale.

We picked up word of another Amazon markdown, and the Neuros was one of the products getting a price reduction. The Neuros is currently being sold for US$ 99.99, and the sale only has two days left. For those who haven't heard of the doohickey, the Neuros Recorder is a mini digital VCR your PSP, iPod Video, cellular phone, or other handhelds.

Now, before you start flaming us with sentences like "QJ sucks," or "Woohoo I wanna have ur babyz!" it would be good to note that the Holidays are coming. For the budding video editors out there who want to make skating trick vids while playing Tony Hawk on your PSP, or the gamers who know someone who could use this, it would make a pretty interesting gift.

If you wanna grab more information, check out the review we made on it some months back. Just remember: contrary to the comments on the linked article, we're not advertisers. We just have the very bad tendency to sound like them when we're in a drunken stupor while writing. Enjoy!
