Last night the developers at Boxee hosted a launch party in NYC to celebrate the debut of the Boxee Box by D-Link.  We already know everything there is to know about the Internet streaming box, so I’ll jump right into the juicy new details shared at the launch party.  First, Netflix and Hulu Plus are coming to the Boxee Box; the former is expected to arrive before the end of the year, and there’s no release window for the latter though Boxee promises they’re working on it.  They’re also working on an updated version of the 2-sided Boxee remote (one side control buttons, the other a QWERTY keyboard for search) that will include a dedicated Netflix button.  VUDU, TED, VEVO, and VICE videos will be accessible to browse and stream on the Box, too.  There’s also been some changes to the user interface since it was last previewed in the beta.  The home screen is a lot more streamlined, making it easier to find your content and view featured content.  A new drop down menu provides quick links to Home, Shows, Movies, Apps, Files, and a search bar.  Music and photos have been pushed into the Files category until the Boxee team can find time to give it some more “TLC.”

And that about does it.  Boxee Box can be yours today for a cool $199.99.
