Boxee announced on its blog November 12th, 2009 that it had signed a deal with a consumer electronics company to release a device which it simply called a "box" that would play Boxee content on your TV.

The Box was fully unveiled on December 8th, 2009. It was designed by Astro and manufactured by D-Link, which is known for its routers. The Box has an SD card expansion slot, HDMI, two USB spots, and both Wi-Fi and Ethernet.

The design is quite creative; it looks like a cube that's sinking into the surface you placed it on. Boxee expects to launch the Box in the second quarter of 2010 at a price close to $200.

Boxee is a social media center software project that allows you to watch video, listen to music, and view photos on their computers and TVs, pulling content from internet sources such as Hulu, Netflix, CBS, Comedy Central, Last.fm, Flickr, and others. You can also rate and recommend shows to their friends through several social networks.
