Mediaspelers zijn er in verschillende soorten en maten. De prijzen voor instapmodellen, het gebruikersgemak en de mogelijkheden, die steeds beter worden, dragen bij aan een grote opmars van deze apparaten in de huiskamer. AC Ryan bedient met zijn Playon!HD 2 de onderkant van de markt en biedt voor een schappelijke prijs een speler die de meest gangbare mediaformaten probleemloos kan afspelen. Bovendien kan hij, indien uitgerust met een interne harde schijf van 3,5", ook dienen als nas-server en BitTorrent-downloader. Met versienummer 9.5.3.r5311 is nieuwe firmware voor dit apparaat verschenen. Sinds de vorige vermelding zijn de volgende veranderingen doorgevoerd.
