Boxee Wins Consumer Electronics Association Tech Award

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) today announced that Boxee took top honors at the new i-stage competition, a technology event featuring the most innovative new consumer technology products.

Boxee took the winning prize with its "social" media center that allows consumers to share personal videos, music and photos as well as content from Web sites like Hulu, CNN.com, ABC.com, Flickr and PicasaWeb.

As the winner of i-stage, the CEA said Boxee will receive $50,000 to further develop its product line, as well as a turnkey booth at the 2009 International CES, CEA's flagship event and the world's largest consumer technology trade show.

"Boxee exemplifies technological innovation," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of CEA, in prepared comments. "The product is a complete social networking solution and raises the bar for aggregating networking sites. Boxee is a great example of the convergence of content and devices, and we look forward to their exhibit at the 2009 International CES."

Boxee says its product can be used on a laptop or connected to an HDTV and works with Mac, Linux and Windows operating systems.
