Great news for boxee and iPhone users. The official boxee app was finally approved by Apple and is now available on the App Store. We hear the app is basic but it should be good enough for simple playback controls. It’s too bad that it took so fraking long for Apple’s stamp of approval.

The little boxee logo works as the main control. Click it for pause/stop/play control and drag it around the screen for directional control. Seems simple. It’s definitely a pleasant alternative than a screen full of icons.
