"Thanks to a varied range of content offerings--including Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus, Crackle, and Pandora—that beats AppleTV, the Roku 2 XS is the best all-around streaming-media box you can get for less than $100."

"If your favorite thing about the latest Apple TV was its size, you’re going to love the Roku 2. The already dinky little box has shrunken even further — at three inches on each side, it is smaller than the Apple TV and shorter than a pack of cigarettes."

"Interesting. See that thing up there? That's Roku. It's a nice, inexpensive, internet-connected box that you hook up to your TV. Once it's set up, you can use it to stream movies and TV shows from the likes of Hulu Plus, Netflix, and Amazon, plus music and photos from Pandora and Flickr, respectively. But the company has just announced a partnership with Rovio to bring the wildly popular series of Angry Birds games to Roku boxes."

"There's always room in the consumer-electronics market for another player with a laser focus on a narrow niche such as Web-based entertainment. Hey, Apple grew into its enormous boots on the back of a music player -- this stuff works."

"Roku also beats Apple TV in terms of size. While Apple's new set-top box is pretty small, the new Roku is even more minuscule: it measures in at 3 inches wide and about an inch high."

"[Anthony Wood] has a history of getting in on TV trends early, inventing a DVR in the 1990s at ReplayTV. Roku, founded in 2003, was originally a mobile game development studio but in May 2008 launched a box that connected to the Internet and streamed Netflix videos. In 2009, Roku started adding more content choices through its Channel Store, one of the first app stores for TVs."
