Boxee and The Other Half Of The Problem
A while back, I posted about an appliance that will change our lives. I described the vision as a piece of hardware that would sit at your home entertainment center and do lots of neat stuff. In the comments, I showed a couple of desktop machines that fit the bill from the hardware perspective. (Many of these machines are being called nettops now.) Today, I saw a bit of news that fits for the ‘other half’ of the problem.
Ars is reporting that Boxee is gaining an apps store (has a new API for Plugins!) and is getting it’s own hardware next year.

I’m sure Boxee is not the only project of this nature in the works right now. I’m also sure that there’s about to be a whole new marketing opening up in front of our televisions soon. If only I had a rich investor friend. ;)
