The Boxee Remote

I really hope Boxee can gain some mainstream traction. I absolutely love the software, and this remote is pretty slick as well.

Am I the only one who thinks they would be accidentally pushing buttons on the underside all the time?

I love how "a simple remote" evolved into a qwerty keyboard.<p>Kidding aside, as a Boxee user, text entry without a keyboard is a major PITA, so I'm glad to see they're not ignoring that fact.

Or, you can buy this one right now:<p><a href="http://www.usbgeek.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=1219" rel="nofollow">http://www.usbgeek.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=1219</a><p>(Wireless. Receiver is USB dongle. Approx size and form-factor of a Blackberry keyboard, with a touchscreen instead of a screen.)

Neat looking remote, but it feels like they're reinventing the wheel here. There are quite a few other handheld wireless keyboard designs that seem to work well (not to mention the PSP-type form factors). I hope they don't overstretch themselves at the expense of the core software product.
