Iomega’s TV with Boxee (Box) hitting Europe by ‘by mid-October,’ or so it says

Forgive our skepticism, but if your product has missed its original ship date by over half a year, we’re not believing anything until we see it. Or, should we are saying, our colleagues in Europe see it. Iomega’s Olivier D’Eternod — Head of Product Marketing for EMEA — was recently on-hand at IBC in Amsterdam, and he was quoted over at Intel’s blog as saying that the ‘TV with Boxee’ will be “available in Europe by mid-October.” When you can’t remember last week (not to mention January), here is a little bit of a refresher — the corporate actually demoed its own version of the Boxee Box at CES, and promised then that it might be out in February. Since? Radio silence. If all goes as planned, though, consumers in Germany, UK, Sweden, Spain and France should see it in around four weeks, with Holland, Belgium, Ireland, Switzerland and Portugal in line behind ‘em. He also hinted at a future where “access to premium content” was available, but smartly suggested that the corporate “bring this one to market first” before looking too far forward. Smart man.
