Now that the public beta of boxee is available, i headed over to the site to see what all the fuss was about. To be honest i dont think i’d bother downloading the software until they release the hardware but the photos of the remote control have already wet my appetite.

In a world drowning in 1000-button remotes (of which we use about 5 buttons regularly) it’s nice too see some bravery. Whether or not it’s over-simplified is yet to be seen but for now it’s beautiful at least.
