![]() ![]() Note: HUGE design flaw of the Revue keyboard - the browser "back" button is located just below the click bar for the touch pad. And I'll guarantee the experience will pale in comparison to mirroring an iPad to your TV to browse. But it's light years away from using a computer, and should not be considered a feature that makes the Revue more attractive than the Boxee. Heck, compared to trying it on the Nintendo Wii browser, it's magic. Which is why the keyboard and touch-pad come in handy.īasically, you can browse the web on your TV with the Revue, and as far as such capabilities go, it's decent. The interesting fact here is that, though Amazon service is accessed as if it were an app, really one is taken to the Revue's on screen web browser. For example, when we found that the current season of "Bones" wasn't available on Netflix, but was on Amazon VOD, we had to turn to the Revue. I think there could be more sub-categorization to help find specific services/apps, but it's better than the Revue environment which seems more scattered and unfocused on what the user experience is supposed to be. The Boxee UI seems a lot more intuitive, making it much easier to get to the offered services. The biggest difference I see between the two machines is how you get to the apps. After that, the services work seamlessly. Setup is pretty similar to before, with the Revue remote keyboard making it much easier to enter usernames and passwords. Both treat services like Netflix and Pandora as apps you start up in the framework of the machine's UI. ![]()
