Apple TV owners already know Boxee a lot because of what it offers extra features and content, but now the company has decided to attack on another front: in early December (more precisely on December 7), it will launch its own set-top box, called Boxee Box. To make the project feasible, Boxee signed an agreement with an unknown electronics manufacturer.
Unofficial Boxee Box MockupThe idea of Boxee, explains its CEO Avner Ronen, to put your product in the living room “regardless of whether it’s connected to a TV, game console, set-top box, Blu-ray player, computer, etc. ”
The expectation that the Boxee Box will reach the market in the first half of 2010, with a price comparable to that of competitors such as Apple TV and Roku, in the range of US $ 100 to US $ 200.
