We’ve talked about why we like Boxee before here on Ploomy. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Boxee has just unveiled one of my favorite pieces of hardware coupled with one of my favorite pieces of software.
What is the Boxee Box?
Boxee is the best way to enjoy entertainment from the Internet and computer on your TV. Boxee is launching their IPTV set-top box powered by the Nvidia Tegra 2. This is the big brother to the Tegra that powers the Microsoft Zune, and several other upcoming Windows Mobile 7 phones.
Rather than using the traditional content provider model, Boxee is a rather unique IPTV solution in that they are a portal to content providers. This is great because it allows for almost any video content on the Internets to be accessed.
And instead of using a Home Theater PC (which you can do with the Boxee software) the Boxee Box makes the Boxee experience accessible to the average consumer who doesn’t want a full-fledged PC, or the support headaches that come with it, next to their TV.
The Boxee Box is as revolutionary as the DVR was, and so not everyone will “get it” the first time they here it. Here’s a video explaining how to get started with Boxee.
Check out the he Boxee Remote. It is an innovative double sided RF device with a Qwerty Keyboard on one side and a multi-directional pointing device on the other.
The Boxee Box by DLink will be available sometime in 2010.
