Boxee CPO Zach Klein has released a video today showing off a production model of the highly anticipated Boxee Box.
The video implies that Boxee will begin mass production on the box now, with a release date not too far in the future.
Boxee’s “sinking box” design is still intact, but it has been given a slightly more refined look and a more fingerprint-resistant finish.
The Box is a media hub, as well as a set-top box, whose primary purpose is to stream music, photos and video from within a local network or use streaming services such as Pandora and video sites.
Boxee Box uses a fast NVIDIA Tegra chipset, which will allow for 1080p video playback and hardware-accelerated Flash 10.1.
The hardware is expected to sell for $180.

Verizon Communications CEO Ivan Seidenberg has made some interesting statements in the past and his latest has attracted attention as well.
Seidenberg says that popular online video site Hulu will be gone in two years, as users move on to something new or technology changes.
“When you think of the change, look at Hulu and the dialogue and debate, and you say, O.K. this is in for the next eight to twelve months and in two years it won’t matter because the world will have moved on,” he said.
To back up his point that technology is evolving fast, he noted the “Sixth Sense” project which is a mini-projector in a cellphone that will allow users to watch video and TV on any surface, wherever and whenever they want.

Google has launched a new privacy control feature this week, dubbed Dashboard, which will allow users to see most of the information that is being collected about them at any given time by the search engine giant.
Dashboard will pull together the data that is accessed whenever a user logs into a Google service such as “summaries of an individual’s e-mail, search requests and viewing habits on Google’s video site, YouTube.”
The service will not provide any data if you have not logged into the Google services.
Google has been under fire for years from privacy watchdogs which want to know just exactly it is that the search engine giant knows about you.
