D-Link Pebble media streamer isn't the Boxee Box

Sort of funny that D-Link is calling its other new media streamer the Pebble, since it's just about as anonymous -- especially compared to the company's own Boxee Box, which is also launching this week for just slightly more than this thing's $119 list price. We're sure the Pebble will do a fine job streaming local and network media to your TV, but c'mon -- have you seen the Boxee Box's remote? Case closed.
No comments after almost half an hour? Kind of says it all. :)
Now try to put something on top of the pebble. Same problem with the boxee box. Is it so out-of-this-world that someone may want to stack it?!
@kallekenkel well, since the Pebble and Boxee Box are so small, they can be placed on top, or even to the side, of other components. I know in my entertainment cabinet, I could easily place the Boxee beside my Xbox 360, my DVD player or my subwoofer, though it could sit on top of either of the first two without causing over heating probs because of its size.
Too many people are making too big of a deal about stackability for something so tiny.
