D-Link Boxee Box - The End of Paying for Cable?



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Overwhelmed about the amount of video content on the web? A long time in the waiting, D-Link and Boxee have finally set a release date for their Boxee Box, a media center designed to connect to your HD TV and provide an organized venue of videos, music, and social networking.  See details on their site:

The downside for Boxee is that the competition is fierce.  Apple TV priced at $99, Google TV (saw a commercial last night), and PopBox are all entering the market at the same time.  I actually had the luck to win one at one of gdgt.com's events back in May of 2010.  I'm looking forward to receiving it around the official release date of November 17. 

So what is this box? Well, once connected to your TV, it has a very well layed-out menu of content so you can watch your favorite shows, movies, etc., with the touch of a button. Boxee has worked with many providers to make it very easy to use. Will devices like this mean the end for cable TV? Probably not tomorrow, but maybe in the near future. Personally, I'm excited to see how this will change the way we watch TV. Check back soon to see how else you can Koreanvent yourself.
