The Boxee Remote
- g0atbutt 17y agoI really hope Boxee can gain some mainstream traction. I absolutely love the software, and this remote is pretty slick as well.
- buro9 17y agoAm I the only one who thinks they would be accidentally pushing buttons on the underside all the time?
- zhyder 17y agoI'd guess it either has an accelerometer (hopefully) or a slider switch to change modes.
- prawn 17y agoAn accelerometer wouldn't account for people lying on their back with the remote upside down. Could the keyboard perhaps only become operational while the device is expecting text input? Entering text on a 360 with a controller or ATV with the little Apple remote can be pretty glacial! An alternative remote for the ATV could be useful too.
- robk 17y agoNeat looking remote, but it feels like they're reinventing the wheel here. There are quite a few other handheld wireless keyboard designs that seem to work well (not to mention the PSP-type form factors). I hope they don't overstretch themselves at the expense of the core software product.
- pmorici 17y agoIf no one ever reinvented the wheel there would be no competition.
- MicahWedemeyer 17y agoI love how "a simple remote" evolved into a qwerty keyboard. Kidding aside, as a Boxee user, text entry without a keyboard is a major PITA, so I'm glad to see they're not ignoring that fact.
