Today saw Boxee update their iPad App to version 1.2, and they also announced some Spotify news.
Video from you and your friends – all in one place that goes anywhere.
Boxee for iPad brings videos from Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and your computer all onto your ipad so you can find and watch new videos or favorites on the train, in bed, on the couch, on the john, during boring conversation, on the patio, from the roof deck, in an abandoned bunker, on the side of a mountain….
Here is what Boxee posted:
We released Boxee for iPad version 1.2 into the iTunes app store today.
Here’s a run down of the standout new features in the app.If you look to the lower right hand corner of this screenshot you’ll see the new remote control for video you’ve sent to a Boxee Box from your iPad.
If you’re sending stuff to your Boxee Box, you’ll also notice that it picks up where you left off for any local files played through the Boxee Media Manager.
For people with bandwidth issues, we’ve also added the option to select the video quality when you’re streaming files, so if you’ve got a spotty WiFi connection you can drop the video quality for more consistent streaming.
Head over to the iTunes store page for the free download.
