Although Boxee has not officially released a remote for android, one does exist but it’s a bit fussy at times. Here you go http://code.google.com/p/boxeeremote/

@John Deszell: There IS a keyboard in the iOS Boxee Remote app. When you’re focused on a text box on the Boxee, you should see the keyboard on your iPod/iPhone.

I commented on Boxee’s Facebook post but wanted more people to see this. Please pretty please add a keyboard to the iPhone app (might as well do Android too). Would make typing sooo much easier. The remote is nice, but seeing the keys in the dark is impossible. Plus I can type way faster on my iPhone.

One of our users built out an Android remote that works really well – https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sunilsadasivan.Boxee&feature=search_result&rdid=com.sunilsadasivan.Boxee&rdot=1

I don’t think you can install a third-part browser. I guess you could do a HTML5 app that looks like a browser, if you wanted…

Last I checked there are more android phones than iphones… why not focus on doing an app like this for android? Atleast on some of the latest os’.

Cool. I have been using a Mouse App like this to control my PC2TV connection. Do you know if you can install other browsers on the Boxee Box? Or are users limited to using the Boxee Browser?
