It certainly is functional, but to me is like holding a calculator upside down and using it as a remote control.&#160; I mean I\u2019ll be hitting text keys constantly when I pick up the remote \u2013 it\u2019s bound to happen!<\/p>\n<p>I might be in the minority on this view as <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MrsGeekTonic\">Mrs GeekTonic<\/a> whom I expected to agree with me thinks it\u2019s a great idea\u2026&#160; She did say it would be nice if the keyboard were hidden with a slider-type covering since it isn\u2019t needed most of the time, but she (and I) like the idea of being able to easily type in text for searches and the like without pulling out a full-blown keyboard.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Boxee-Box-remote-1024x662\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/4016\/4249793694_76c9d435de.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"D-Link-Remote-Keyboard-Layout-ZACH-2-1024x660\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/4047\/4249793764_ca9ef9e149.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What do you think of the <strike>handheld keyboard<\/strike> er remote?<\/p>\n<p>More on the Boxee Remote at <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.boxee.tv\/2010\/01\/05\/by-the-pricking-of-my-thumbs-something-awesome-this-way-comes\/\">the Boxee Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/11976697-7823107562652141949?l=www.geektonic.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Jc2N4wF1NYyPzC9159UCkUtUugo\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Jc2N4wF1NYyPzC9159UCkUtUugo\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Jc2N4wF1NYyPzC9159UCkUtUugo\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Jc2N4wF1NYyPzC9159UCkUtUugo\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?a=YS6pfHIFF3c:0zY4DMVbUws:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?a=YS6pfHIFF3c:0zY4DMVbUws:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?i=YS6pfHIFF3c:0zY4DMVbUws:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?a=YS6pfHIFF3c:0zY4DMVbUws:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?i=YS6pfHIFF3c:0zY4DMVbUws:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?a=YS6pfHIFF3c:0zY4DMVbUws:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?a=YS6pfHIFF3c:0zY4DMVbUws:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?i=YS6pfHIFF3c:0zY4DMVbUws:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?a=YS6pfHIFF3c:0zY4DMVbUws:d35CHgcQbKY\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Brentevans?i=YS6pfHIFF3c:0zY4DMVbUws:d35CHgcQbKY\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/Brentevans\/~4\/YS6pfHIFF3c\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t ever say Boxee is&#160;
