The Boxee app for iPad is now available, what do you think?
details
I haven't been keeping up with what was coming with the Boxee iPad app, but I was excited based on the idea that it could replicate the functionality of Boxee Box. Well, I just installed the app and I'm sort of disappointed. Here are the primary features: - Friends stream (Videos your friends are sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr) - Watch later (Use the Boxee bookmarklet to mark videos to watch later via computer) - Featured (Videos that the Boxee staff highlight) - Video streaming (Stream...

Sign up for it here: http://gdgt.com/newsletter/ *** The past few months have been big ones for the future of television: the Boxee Box finally shipped, Hulu Plus rolled out of beta, the first Google TV boxes and TV sets came out, Apple rebooted Apple TV, and Netflix announced a streaming-only option. There's no denying that more and more households are canceling their cable or satellite in favor of getting their TV online, and while the numbers are still relatively small, it's... Read more →

Has yours shipped yet?

Mine isn't scheduled to arrive until 11/13, but I'm hearing some people already have theirs! Did you get yours yet, if you did what are your impressions of it so far? If you haven't received yours yet, why did you decided on the Boxee Box instead of all the other alternatives, Apple TV, Roku, Western Digital live TV, any of the Google TV boxes? I decided to preorder mine because of the ability to stream basically all filetypes through my local network, the interface not being half... Read more →

content with it. I'm running Boxee on my laptop (1.83 ghz C2D, 2gb ram) and it had been pretty poor, so I'm kinda worried how this experience would be using it on a Boxee box which will probably will be less powerful than my laptop. Any thoughts?

few years. First of all, these opinions may simply be a result of personal preference, but I believe some of them extend to the majority of consumers of digital content. Three years ago, as a college student with little to no money, my main source of content was through torrents. I downloaded every new movie and several TV series to hard disks and took pride in the amount of content I began to accumulate. It was at this time that I started using Boxee as my main media center application. The... Read more →

Boxee Box and Google TV's roll out. Now with the Boxee Box being pushed back into November does it have any chance of success at all? It's pretty clear that Google, with all of it different partnerships, plans on pushing this product pretty hard this holiday shopping season. I'm afraid the Boxee Box is going to be swept away by the flood of Google TV this fall. Thoughts?

make a device/platform to which content creators can latch on to, the way magazine publishers are limpetting themselves to the iPad. The problem is that no one has yet produced a product that can fully replace a laptop connected to a TV/projector. Today, there are three main options for doing this: 1) Apple TV/Xbox 360 These both have pretty much the same story to them: you buy content from the respective stores, through the device, then watch it on your TV. Apple TV can transfer content from... Read more →

People of Lava Scandinavia - An Android powered HDTV?
details
There's been some buzz over this television recently because of the fact it uses Android to display a bunch of internet related media. It seems like this is the future of of televisions (containing onboard, interactive firmware or operating systems that connect to the internet). Is it really necessary though. Every year, we see manufacturers release another hundred individual models of their latest and greatest HDTV in every size. I don't think there's much incentive for them to... Read more →
