I was lucky enough to get a chance to talk to the folks at BOXEE during CES 2009 at CES Unveiled. I will admit up front I am a big fan of the media offering.
For those not up to speed on Boxee all I can say is there technology has transformed my Apple TV into a true multi-media device that allows me to get almost all of the programming that I am paying my cable provider for.
There offering is of such magnitude that I am sure many cable providers are really worried that people like me are going to replace our cable subscriptions with offerings from companies like Boxee. With the major networks putting a great deal of their content online it is only a mater of time when cable companies are going to be bypassed.
Boxee allows you to experience your Flickr Images, TV Shows, Music, Photos, Hulu, get Netflix Videos, and enjoy streaming content along with integration into more media sites all the time.
All they need to do to really seal the deal is come up with their own box similar to the ROKU. Boxee has a developers API so I foresee in coming days a significant increase in this products viability.
