INOi was so kindly to send us at CDFreaks the Digital Media Player HV355U-00080 and our reviewer MegaDETH published today a review of this lovely piece of hardware.
The HV355 is a powerful external hard drive. When connected with AV equipment, it plays back media files via its built-in hard drive directly. The HV355 not only stores data, plays movie, music, and photos, but also provides uncompromised high definition display and digital sound quality. It supports computer hot swap and high speed data transfer with USB 2.0 interface.
Interestingly, the only negative point found by our reviewer was the absence of controls on the unit itself, and the only way to use it is through the remote control.
After reading the review here, feel free to discuss about it on the dedicated thread on our forum.

The Inoi is actually an OEM version of the Argosy or at least is using the same HW supllier. The players have always been in the lower price range and could not really match the more advanced players in the same segment but make a good entry for normal day to day use.

OEM is not bad as it makes consumers get these units at lower prices however has a downside too where support and FW updates are concerned as the Company depends on third party for updates and history shows with other oem vendors (especially Snazio, Trans-Gear, Helios and so on) are outdated faster than other companies handling their own FW updates (except for Linksys / KiSS-technology).
Good players, usually well priced and i like them. For more advanced or pro users, it just doesn't fit well enough.
Enjoy
