Wistron’s WiGO 1 and 2 streamers win iF design awards, presumably for strangeness

Though it could easily be mistaken for a dinosaur egg trapped in some prehistoric block of ice, what you’re looking at here is actually a set-top box. A media streamer, to be specific. Details are light, but Wistron’s so-called WiGO 1 and 2 have showed up at the presentation of iF’s annual Product Design Awards at CeBIT , described as “multimedia centers” with HDMI connections that can browse local, networked, and internet content. In the case of the WiGO 1 (pictured above), it looks like the inner “egg” — where the electronics lie — has literally no accessible connections, but the reality is that the iF folks simply set it in its display case with the rear facing down. The WiGO 2 is a little more traditional in appearance; the meat of the device is a normal black box at the bottom, topped with a large cube of clear acrylic that gives the package a less geeky, more fashion-forward appearance. See shots of both units below.
