Boxee Box
Now officially announced, the Boxee Box will be built by D-Link and offers a way to access the Boxee service without a PC.
Boxee is a media-on-demand interface that gives you access to loads of online content. The Boxee Box therefore promises more on-demand content than any other Media Player before it. It runs on Linux using an NVIDIA ION derived chipset (Tegra2). Performance as a traditional Media Player is unknown and is the one area where we have doubts about this product. We hope format support is wide.
Update 13th June: Or maybe this is one to look out for in 2011! The release date has been pushed back to November 2010. Where once Boxee seemed revolutionary, the later the release gets shunted back, the more products that are released with similar features..

seems like it is dealyed until november, trouble with Tegra chip , can not HD audio and blu ray January 14, 2010 - 16:50
It currently connects to HDMI TV's only, but majority of TV's are pre-HDMI, with 'Composite' the most common connection. The ARM-A9/Tegra2 used in 'Box' supports SD analog 'Composite' TV's, and so should cost only a few $s to implement. Other new Media-Streamers still support Composite connections using the 3 RCA Yellow, Red, White sockets. The prototype provides the Audio part via the Red & White, but NOT the Yellow for Video !!! External adapters are messy and expensive to convert HDMI to composite, so suggest use the features provided by the chipset and add the RCA Yellow connector to give SD Composite video. The product will then appeal to a greater audience in its initial year as many do not want to be forced into upgrading their TVs to HDMI just for a media-streamer. January 11, 2010 - 03:38
When turn off by remote control, does the machine completely shut down power to the USB external HDD? January 02, 2010 - 15:21
Corrections; the "Boxee Box" is not manufactured by Boxee but by D-Link by license, and D-Link does not have an exclusive deal with Boxee so other manufacturers can also get a license from Boxee to make Boxee boxes, this is even outlined on the wikipedia article for Boxee. The chipset it uses is not yet publicly confirmed but said to be Nvidia Tegra 2, Nvidia's second generation ARM architecture system-on-a-chip series, so it is not the old Tegra 650 but a newer one.

D-Link Boxee Box will also of course have 1Gbit (1000Mbit) efternet and 802.11n wireless wifi support integrated. January 05, 2010 - 10:25
