Boxee, Internet TV app service earlier this month has launched an iPad, a bookmarklet to make your videos daily finds in a queue to watch later. It takes a bit of setup to get both operating properly, but it 's worth it. Here 's what to do.
On the iPad app's homepage, there is a column called 'Watch Later.' To refresh this, put your finger anywhere in that pane, hold it down and drag it to the right. You should see the video you just added refresh in that pane.
Also check out the 'Friends' pane, which is populated by videos shared by your friends that you connected to in step 3. Finally, there is a 'Featured' tab which is content curated by the Boxee team.
The Boxee iPad app has other features, such as the 'My Media' tab which allows you to watch videos downloaded to your computer and streamed to the iPad. That requires a separate PC app, the Boxee Media Manager, which I had a bit of trouble setting up. But that's outside the scope of this post.
For now, just enjoy the 'Watch Later' feature. It's a relatively small thing perhaps. But anything that helps get you out of your desk and into your sofa or elsewhere has got to be good, right? That's the Web world we're increasingly living in, it just takes a bit of adjusting to as services like Boxee figure out the optimal user experience away from the computer.
