Popbox issued a statement regarding the ship date: it is now July 23rd, so no luck for the hopeful ones that expected their box to be shipped in time for July 4th. Another dissapointing news is that Netflix will not make it at launch, if ever.
Compared with the initial announcement at CES 2010, the current list is a letdown. Beside the notable lack of Netflix support, several other clients like Facebook didn’t make the cut either. If history taught us something is that customers don’t react in a positive way when a company creates a lot of hype and then fails to deliver. I only hope Syabas will survive this blow, especially when competitor boxes supporting Netflix are popping out all over the place.
Popbox parent company, Syabas made available the following list of supported Web Apps at launch:
| Funspot Games | Picassa |
| Blip.tv | Livestation |
| Next New Networks | Channels.com |
| YouTube | Photobucket |
| Weatherbug | |
| Shoutcast | MediaFly |
| Revision 3 | Clicker |
| Video Detective | MotorzTV |
