You = Fail

Boxee = Win]]>May 11th 2010 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/May 11th 2010 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/
Their business model is a fail. 80% Of the people that matter to businesses will opt for a netflix account before giving an unproven company like boxee money for content.

People already have dish, directv, comcast, netflix, blockbuster.
Hulu, cbs etc.

What makes boxee so special? Their software?

grandma/grandpa/soccer moms dont care about that. They are looking at that hideous boxee box and saying "why would i buy it my tivo etc already that"

Truth of the matter is you can like a company but fact is...They are bound to fail specially when netflix is on damn near every device out there. And who does grandma/grandpa & soccer moms know? Not boxee

You're not paying them, you're paying the content provider (sure, they take a cut)

The services you mentioned are all mostly going to be (or are already) available on Boxee

And the the software (like Android) will be available for fre, for hardware manufacturers to put on anything they please.

In fact if we compare it solely to android, Id almost say

It's DOOMED to succeed! :O]]>May 11th 2010 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/May 11th 2010 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/Actually Grandma DOES care, Boxee's four buttons are a simple retreat to the more complicated keyboards, browser bars and plugins that plague other platforms. Doesn't make for a very usable experience.

To answer your question, yes... its about the software. Its all about the software. You can take cutting edge hardware with kinda-sorta-works or 'good enough' but it doesn't mean squat to grandma if she can't turn it on.]]>May 11th 2010 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/
A 65 year old wants to turn on the tv and flip to the channel. Not mess with menus and searching.

Conventional method. Press tv on, flip to the channel.
With boxee there is no TV GUIDE! Remember grandmas are used to TV GUIDE they been using it for over 30-40 years. You have to search for what you want then choose the episode you want to choose. And some are named episode1 episode2 etc. You honestly grandma have teh time to go through that?

And on top of that while she is already paying for cable or sat she is going to have to pay more for the content on boxee?

Get real..This is boxees wet dream gone bad.]]>May 11th 2010 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/boxee-for-iphone-ipad-and-android-all-but-confirmed-in-vindicia/Why do you feel Boxee's success is reliant on your Grandma's opinion of it?
