For anyone who pre-ordered the Boxee Box on blind faith that it would one day reach your door: the adorable little set-top box will arrive on the doorstep as early as November 11. Everyone else will have to wait some.
If the Boxee Box media streaming entertainment box has you drooling like a rabid dog, you’ll be happy to know that Australians can now pre-order the box via D-Link’s website, which will guarantee you get a box when it launches mid-November.
The guys at D-Link told us this morning that the upcoming Boxee Box will be launching in Australia in November for $349.
If you’ve been hoping to get your hands on a Boxee Box here in Australia, turns out D-Link is working hard to not only bring the hardware here to Australia, but also integrate local content partnerships.
It was rumoured long ago and now it’s confirmed: The Boxee Box. Made by D-Link and with HDMI-support, an SD card slot, two USB 2.0 ports, WiFi, and ethernet. It should definitely be a nice companion to the Boxee software.
I really, really like the idea of this digital photo frame. Wireless access to Facebook, Flickr and Picasa photos, plus 1GB of internal memory and USB/SD card slots to expand available storage. When the US reviewed it last year, they seemed to like it as well, even though they wanted a slightly easier UI. But with an RRP of $799, it’s going to be tough to justify spending almost your entire K-Rudd economic stimulus.gift voucher on a device that displays photos and RSS feeds.
