Now that ZeeVee’s back in business with its much improved Zinc broadband video portal, boxee actually has some serious competition to keep an eye on. That said, the company is hosting a meetup in NYC tonight in order to launch a new “bleeding edge” alpha that will integrate Pandora radio / RadioTime and showcase a more robust API. Furthermore, you’ll find a fresh XUL-based framework for the boxee browser to enable the app to more easily interact with any web-based video, and as if that wasn’t enough, there will also be a PBS application baked in. We have to say, we’re pretty impressed with the regularity of updates coming to boxee — now, if only those big networks would allow hit shows to be broadcast online live alongside their TV airings, we’d be in television heaven. The full announcement is after the break.
