We released Boxee for iPad version 1.2 into the iTunes app store today.
Here’s a run down of the standout new features in the app.

If you’re sending stuff to your Boxee Box, you’ll also notice that it picks up where you left off for any local files played through the Boxee Media Manager.

For people with bandwidth issues, we’ve also added the option to select the video quality when you’re streaming files, so if you’ve got a spotty WiFi connection you can drop the video quality for more consistent streaming.

Head over to the iTunes store page for the free download.

SPOTIFY UPDATE: We’ve got some good news for Spotify fans.  If you’re a Premium Spotify user, you can now use Spotify anywhere in the world on Boxee. Previously the app was only available for use in countries where Spotify had launched.

GBTV, Glenn Beck’s internet media network, has arrived on Boxee Boxes around the globe. Whether you know Glenn Beck or not, the fact that, according to the Wall Street Journal, he has more subscribers than the Oprah Winfrey Network has viewers means he’s someone that you should be paying attention to.

For those who need their daily Beck fix, GBTV offers five daily live video streams along with hours of archived video from the GBTV network.

The daily live TV schedule includes:
9 AM The Glenn Beck Radio Program
12 PM The Fourth Hour
1 PM Mercury Theater
4 PM Liberty Treehouse
5 PM The Glenn Beck Program

You’ll need a GBTV or GBTV plus subscription (for more details click here) to check out the new GBTV app for Glenn’s radio show, four other daily live programs, specials, documentaries and behind the scenes looks at how Glenn Beck’s growing media empire works.
