Not ready for prime time: The MeeBox and friends

Compositor's MeeSeries

Connected devices are everywhere.  Compositor wants to put together a solution for the tech savvy so you can have a connected living room using their Meeseries of devices. 

Gadgetell saw their devices at CES and some of us were thoroughly unimpressed.  The MeeBox and MeeCeiver system allows you to watch your digital content on your television.  If I remember right, the MeeCeiver attaches to your television while the MeeBox sends your images, audio, and video to the MeeCeiver.  Checking Compositor’s website, there really is no information to tell you what exactly the devices do.

Their system included connected digital picture frames.  All these devices connect to surveillance cameras if you should choose to use them that way. 

Now what made my cohorts walk away from a demo?  Well, the device doesn’t really offer anything new.  The interface was very clunky.  When I asked, “Is this interface the final one or are you working on it?”  The response was that the clunky interface was actually the final version. Then I was alone talking to the Compositor guys.

There are plenty of devices that bring your digital content to your television right now.  Compositor did nothing to really differentiate itself from the others (other than a very clunky interface).  That is not a distinguishing feature any company wants.  Perhaps if they work on that interface, they will have a chance.  Personally, I think that their products are a couple of revisions away from being something worth buying.
