HP Pocket Playlist Records Netflix and Hulu, Streams to Five Devices

Wi-Fi-enabled storage devices aren?t anything new, but HP?s just-announced at CES 2013 Pocket Playlist introduces an intriguing twist to the now-familiar formula. At a basic level, the Pocket Playlist packs enough portable storage to hold 16 full-length movies, 7,600 songs or 10,000 photos. Cool, but ho-hum.

The secret sauce lies in the Pocket Playlist?s ability to stream said content to up to five simultaneous device via a direct Wi-Fi connection ? no Internet service required ? and the inclusion of a one-month subscription to the PlayLater app, which brings the world of online video to your offline Pocket Playlist.

PlayLater basically acts like a DVR for streaming video, allowing you to record your favorite shows from Amazon Instant Video, HBO Go, Hulu, Netflix and more directly to the HP Pocket Playlist. Once a show is saved to the hard drive using PlayLater, the Pocket Playlist can then stream it to connected devices regardless of whether or not you have a working Internet connection. Nifty!

The HP Pocket Playlist will be available on February 15th for $129. It?s compatible with Wi-Fi devices, including most Android, Apple and Windows Phone devices. If you end up liking the ability to record on-demand streaming video for on-demand offline use, subscriptions to PlayLater currently cost $19.99 for one year or $39.99 for a lifetime license.
