I know there's quite a few of you here that are leaning towards the Boxee Box as your OTT (Over the Top) set-top of choice. Thought you might like to hear about what's coming in the future.
Boxee's VP of Marketing, Andrew Kippen, said on a Tech podcast that a version 1.5 update will be rolling out in late March with a "huge browser update" that will not only speed up the browser but will also work better with video-minded websites. My own speculation is that this update will be based on Mozilla 4 which is in fact officially released tomorrow. (Though you can download the final today if you know where to look.) No word yet on what else this update will include.
Also there was an update on the status of the Boxee iPad app that can stream content from your Boxee box and can also see what your Boxee friends are streaming on their boxes. And here's the kicker, for reasons not specified, you will need an iPad 2 to use this app.
