Though it seems a bit late, Boxee Box has come just in the right time, when Gadgets are gaining huge prominence and demand in India.

Boxee Box, although the name seems a bit sissy, is a cool device which enables its users to bring Internet TV and videos from other sources to the users' TV. Not just videos, but also social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook get displayed in the users' TV at their own comfort in their homes. The trick lies behind the software of the device.

 

Boxee box is pre-installed with the Boxee Media Centre software. The hardware is of the Intel CE4110 System on a chip platform. The hardware basically constitutes of a Intel atom CPU running at 1.2 GHz frequency a powerful Integrated Graphics Processing Unit, RAM of 1 GB size and NAND Flash memory of 1 GB. D-Link Boxee Box DSM-380 features HDMI output ports of 1.3 version which is highly advantageous as the users can watch HD videos from many sources as well.
