And why is it so quiet on the Boxee Box front? I'd hate the ads in the popbox though (although the box itself is rather handsome)]]>Apr 20th 2010 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/Apr 20th 2010 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/
What ads?]]>Apr 20th 2010 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/Apr 20th 2010 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/
That's not what the folks at Syabas said...the ads - if there are any - are controlled by the apps themselves, in terms of self-advertising. Or at least that's my understanding:

No thanks. What a huge let down.

Guess I'm going with Boxee.]]>Apr 20th 2010 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/
Boxee is soooooo very broken right now. It works OK for online stuff, but add local media to the mix and wait for the brown puddle to leak from your box as Boxee shits itself..]]>Apr 20th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/Apr 20th 2010 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/Apr 20th 2010 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/Apr 20th 2010 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/Apr 20th 2010 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/Apr 20th 2010 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/And the worst RMA service EVER.]]>Apr 20th 2010 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/Apr 20th 2010 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/Apr 20th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/

1. I like the Boxee UI, but I don't like the Boxee Box shape, which means that I'd rather have bought an Aspire Revo running the dual core Atom 330, to get streaming 1080 content to run smoothly.
2. Cost suggests that the Boxee will be closer to $200, and the Aspire Revo running Boxee would have cost $328, which is a lot more than the wireless Popbox at $149, or the wired Popbox at $129.

So, AFAIC, the Popbox is my likely choice.]]>Apr 20th 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/The market seems to really be heating up...Roku is doing a nice job, Boxee should be strong and Windows Media Center on W7 is very nice.
Not sure about Apple TV...haven't really heard much positive about it lately.]]>Apr 20th 2010 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/popbox-prepares-for-launch-with-preorders-sdk/Apr 24th 2010 3:18PM
