DVBLogic’s Boxee app brings live TV streaming to the Box
If online video streams and locally stored media aren’t providing enough functionality for your Boxee Box, now you can watch regular TV on it too. The Digital Lifestyle mentions DVBLogic has released a new version of its DVBLink client for the device that lets you browse the program guide and watch live TV, provided you also have a home server set up with its software and a tuner. If you’re not familiar with the software, it lets you turn most any UPnP-compatible device into an extender capable of caching live streams, with clients available for iPad / iPhone already, plus Android and WP7 on the way. You’ll need the latest release candidate version of DVBLink Connect! server software to make it all go, then point your Boxee Box browser to the company’s repository to download the client software and let us know how it all works out.

TweetDeck and Twitter, together at last
We’ve been hearing rumors for a while that Twitter was looking to make TweetDeck a member of its flock, and now, the blue bird crew has made it official. All Things D reports that the deal was done for between $40 to 50 million, and that TweetDeck CEO Iain Dodsworth will stay on to run the platform. In its official announcement, Twitter said it will continue to “invest in the TweetDeck that users know and love” — time will tell if the new boss birdie is a boon or bane for the popular tweet tracking app.

VMware View brings virtual desktops to iPad with touchscreen-friendly controls (video)
Remote controlling your personal desktop from an iPad is one thing, but today VMware is offering something a little heftier — a streamlined app to connect to enterprise-class virtual desktops. Like Citrix Receiver, the idea is that you’ll get the iPad client for free, and hopefully pay to have the cloud computers served up, but instead of streamlining applications for tablet use, VMware’s app hands you customizable PC-like controls. There’s a handy-looking virtual touchpad you can use for fine control over the mouse cursor if your fingers prove too pointy, a set of Windows shortcut keys at the top of the virtual keyboard, multi-finger gestures and more — but why not just watch the video after the break to see what’s in store?

Trillian for Android IM client is out of beta, into the Android Market at $4.99
Fans of the Trillian IM client should know that it looks like the beta period has ended (you can no longer download the app from Trillian’s website), and it’s now up in the Android Market. It’ll run you $4.99. But is that too high a price to stay in constant contact with your friends be they on Astra, AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, Windows Live, MySpaceIM, Google Talk or Jabber? Depends on the friends, we suppose.
Anyhoo, download links are after the break. Enjoy! Thanks, Jason!

Tweetdeck for Android has been updated to 1.0.2 in the Market!
If Tweetdeck is your weapon of choice for Twitter, you’ll want to be sure to grab the latest version from the Android Market. Version 1.0.2 has been made available and addresses a few issues within the application. One of the larger ones being the adding of Facebook accounts which some users had troubles with. While we’re at it, we might as well make mention that @deckondroid has also confirmed that Twitpic support is coming very soon for those of you who prefer that over YFrog.

Twitter for Android updated, loses some of its UI coolness
(Twitter pre-update, left, and post-update, right)
The official Android Twitter app — cleverly named Twitter for Android — just got another updated. There’s no changelog just yet (it’ll be here, and apparently we skipped the 1.3 update), but the cool little trending topics cloud is gone, the icons have gotten less attractive, and we kinda miss the bird looking at us. We have to hope there’s something more than that in this update, and we’re not alone in our disappointment. If you spot something, sing out in the comments. Thanks @macprv and Pepito141.

Trillian multi-client IM app now in open beta for Android
Who has two thumbs, seven Android phones and has a hankering for some multi-client instant messaging on Android? This guy. The popular desktop IM client Trillian is now in open beta for Android for a limited time. With it, you can keep up with your pals on AIM, Gtalk, IRC, Mobile Me, Facebook, MySpaceIM, Yahoo and a handful of other protocols, all from a single app on your phone.
Along with the usual Trillian support, you get tabbed chats, landscape mode, and can sent emoticons, photos and send pings (oh boy) to your friends "to demand attention."
The beta period won’t last forever, and the app will expire at the end of the beta (at which time we’ll likely have to pay for it. So snag it now and give it a shot. [Trillian]
