Niveus has released more details about its new Media Center Extender for Windows Vista. The new device, with the catchy moniker, EDGE packs a bunch of features, but seems to be missing a few essentials as well.The EDGE includes a passive cooling system for silent operation, 3 USB 2.0 ports, HDMI/component outputs, and an ethernet jack. But there's no Wi-Fi. That's right, not only does this device lack any 802.11n support, there's no 802.11anything in there.
Niveus plans to release the EDGE in November, but there's no word on pricing. Considering Niveus tends to make high end boxes, we would expect the EDGE to cost more than the $350 D-Link and Linksys are charging for their extenders. But the lack of Wi-Fi has us scratching our heads.
