Boxee Looks to Kill ‘Em with Content
4:03 pm, March 24th, 2009, Lonnie Lazar

Nearly 900 people RSVPd for the boxee meetup Tuesday at Webster Hall in NYC, where the “bleeding edge” media center platform is announcing brand new partnerships with Pandora, Radio Time and PBS, as well as a more robust API and a new XUL-based framework for the boxee browser that will enable easier interaction with any web-based video (translation: Hulu web pages).
Live video of the meetup and a chat session are accessible on the Mogulus boxee meetup channel.
With the new Pandora station, boxee users can listen to their personal quickmix and favorite stations, as well as create new stations, making music in the living room more accessible than ever.
BoxeeHQ is also releasing a new PBS app today, and the company promises its new API will allow developers to build apps using XML pages and Python scripts, giving them control over everything they want from a UI perspective.
They offer as an example the new implementation of Radio Time, an application built using the new API that will allow users to stream over 100k terrestrial radio stations from around the world.
By adding new access to more music and continuing to add to and refine access to video content, boxee is definitely pressing its case as a force to be reckoned with in the breaking down of barriers between internet and traditional media content.

Sky News with their monumental bias toward iPod (but i think it is actually iTunes store), sells this as the demise of the iPod.
I wonder, how in the age of youtube people still talk loud in “public” about things they DO NOT completely understand, yeah still regarding the British’s Sky News.

Um, “Natalie Portman’s Shaved H…” wait, what? Is that a new band? Because if it is, I need all their albums right now.
