While not nearly as crotch-hardening as this afternoon’s official launch of the Nexus One phone by Google, I’m pleased at what the Boxee team has just given a tease on: The Boxee Box Remote.

Unfortunately, no details have been shared about the device. All they’ve revealed is that it has a QWERTY keyboard on its underbelly, wireless of some sort, and sleek as hell.

If I were a gambling man, I’d bet the Boxee Box Remote will only be shipped in box with the Boxee Box (hence the name). I hope not, but we’ll see.

UPDATE: It looks like Engadget has gotten hands-on with the Boxee Box at CES.

About a month ago as I haphazardly roamed the HDTV isles at a local Best Buy, I randomly came across what I have been in search of for many months–a sleek, wireless keyboard with a touchpad. Introducing: Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro.

I must admit that I was a bit discouraged because the device was in the PS3 section and specifically said “for PlayStation 3.” Since it had a Bluetooth logo I figured it would be a safe chance to take. All worked out perfectly. I unpacked the device, installed my Bluetooth USB adapter on my HTPC and paired the device in Windows XP in roughly 15 minutes.

I have yet to have a problem with it except when the cheap AA batteries died. It is a light weight, sleek, and very responsive. This device has been quite a life saver.. or rather a time and energy saver–allowing me to be even lazier while watching videos on my HTPC.

I definitely recommend the Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro for any HTPC enthusiasts looking for a good remote solution.
