The Boxee Box has been around the blogosphere once already. But in light of CES, it’s no surprise that it is now being officially announced to everyone.
Boxee, if you do not know already, allows users to stream just about every type of media to wherever you want it. However, sketchy hardware support and troublesome installation made it difficult to stream to your television. This box is here to solve that problem.
Since it is officially made by Boxee, you can’t expect them to leave out any important features. And they haven’t. It allows streaming of just about all popular formats including: DivX, VC-1, WMV, H.264 MKV, and Flash 10.1. But if you feel like using a service to get your content, it can do that too. Pandora, Last.fm, Facebook, Twitter, Picassa, and Flickr are all integrated into the Box right out of the box (excuse the redundancy).
What will be interesting is to see if people are going to develop their own apps on the now available Boxee app platform. If the Boxee Box can get a solid set of motivated developers behind it, there is a very good possibility that you will be able to access just about anything from this Box.
