We have a small and new company and we're stumped on how to describe (in an ad) our Glaucus device.
Briefly it's a non zoned (zoned is OLD tech) UPnP multimedia server (audio & video via Ethernet). it's also a Linux based (setup with a browser, easy too) firewall, router,web server, email server, anti-virus, ftp server, virus & spam filtering, VPN... AND it's supports Squeezebox & ROKU players (and emulates a virtual one it on it's own soundcard) PLUS we have in the works using it as a very powerful & web enabled homeautomation server (like a super JDS stargate (at a similar price!!!) or a ELK Gold...
We use commercial players. The D-Link DSM-320 can play video & audio including DIVX & VOBs.
The Slimdevices & ROKU squeezbox devices work great as music players and we're going to use them as a controller for our home automation (ie alarm status & thermostat control)
Plus most UPnP players will see our Glaucus server. And on the very cheap the Netgear MP101 player (quite a bargin)
We are currently building our own line of inexpensive (approx $150 Cdn) communicating thermostats with a universal RS232/422/485 port (the RCS is nice but 300baud and the Aprilaire is expensive and easy to crash, also it's RS422)
Some of our competition (very expensive too!)
Lastly we were thinking of putting on a contest to win some of our products as a way to get traffic to our site
I'd be happy to get any feedback, this marketing stuff is tough.
