Please contact Amazon and request an app for Boxee...

I emailed Amazon and got this reply:

* You have to be an Amazon Prime member (which I am) as it is now included in the membership. AP is a good deal if your household (can include up to 5 people in the same house) orders at least 20 things from Amazon a year.

Now would be a great time to implement an Amazon VOD app.

Amazon VOD is only free to those that paid the $79 fee. Those of us who have .edu addresses are not eligible unless we pay. But yeah, I second the request for a Boxee app, be it official or unofficial. This was the first hit on google when searching "boxee amazon", btw.

Sure would be nice if there was an amazon app soon to take advantage of their news today!

I don't see anything that would indicate that boxee are in discussions:

FedEx just dropped off my new Boxee Box (from Amazon) and it would be great if they could do an app so it would work with Amazon VOD. I can already connect through my BluRay player, but it would be nice to use this box instead.

Please don't post this kind of thing without the actual link.

Searching the Boxee twitter page back to Jan 1 shows no such thing. Searching twitter directly on: amazon boxee shows no such thing.

A little off topic... but maybe not.

What I think he might be talking about is this:
"sounds like a great idea!
i'll talk to the dev guys... maybe we can get something going..."

But it has nothing to do with Twitter, But its over 2 years old.
