Remember the Popbox? It was supposed to usher in a new age of streaming along with the Boxee Box. But it didn’t. Early reviews were horrible, citing very laggy software and missing features like Netflix. The ‘box is around eight months old and Syabas is still developing for the platform. The company recently added MLB.TV and the added MKV3D support to theĀ previously-announced 3D feature. That’s certainly great news for current owners although the new additions are probably not significant enough to opt for the Popbox over a Boxee Box, Roku, or Apple TV. [Zatz Not Funny]
