We’ve reviewed the Boxee HTPC application, but news just came in yesterday that the Boxee Box is now being produced and should be available in November. The Boxee Box is a little box that runs the Boxee application without any need for a computer. The hardware is being produced by D-Link, a networking company that has never seemed to satisfy me with their routers (that’s just me of course). It was first announced at CES 2010, and the box has gone through much changes since then. Some of the differences include weight changes, nicer plastic, and a smudge-free surface. I think that this is starting to look very promising and I’m waiting to get some video of the actual performance of the thing. If I’m going to consider getting it, it must perform faster than my netbook when in the application. It doesn’t necessarily have to have better specifications since it’s actually going to be running the Boxee software natively and it should run well. Here’s a video that explains the Boxee Box in full detail:

Just a few days back, Kodak showed off a new pocket HD camcorder called the “Playsport” at CES 2010. This camera featured ruggedness, waterproofing and the Zi8′s sensor, capable of 1080p video.

Today, we found a release date on the camera’s Amazon page!

It is set to be released April 5, 2010!

If you were expecting an update to the Kodak Zi6′s firmware, you’re out of luck.

According to the Kodak booth at CES, there will no longer be anymore updates to the Zi6′s firmware, due to the release to the Kodak Zi8. Meaning, you can either purchase the Zi8 or, figure out how to hack the firmware like these guys tried to over at the Vimeo forums – “Editing the Zi6 Firmware”

That’s about it for Kodak’s very first pocket camcorder.

Sony has announced that they are no longer using the Memory Stick Duo as the only storage device in their cameras! You’ll soon be able to chose between using the Duo or an SD card!

This change will occur to the parts of the Handycam and Cybershot lines this year!
