I wrote the other day about how my freelancing work seems to come in waves of products. One thing I’ve seen no shortage of recently is media streaming boxes. Loads of them, all largely doing the same thing. After a while, it becomes hard to muster up enthusiasm unless they do something either a little different or considerably better than the opposition.
At CNET.com.au, I’ve taken a look at D-Link’s Boxee Box in one of the longest reviews I’ve written for any online publication for a long while.
(Quick ethical disclaimer: The review unit tested was (effectively) a door prize won at the Kickstart conference. That doesn’t change its features or flaws, but people get antsy about failure to disclose this kind of thing.)
D-Link Boxee Box: “The Boxee Box is a premium-priced proposition best suited for those who want an easy out-of-the-box Boxee experience.”
Then at Hydrapinion, it’s back to the wonderful world of tablets. Specifically, that tablet. You know the one. Don’t make me name it.
Yes, it’s about that Tablet (again): “By now, more words have been expended on Apple’s launch last week of the iPad 2 than are contained within the entirety of War & Peace*.”
It’s Friday, right? I can take it easy?
Takes a quick look at the calendar for the rest of March.
Gulp. Guess not.
