Almost two years after its last
major set-top box rollout, Roku is ready to introduce its first third
generation player. Other than a new curvier design outside the Roku 3's
main differences are a more powerful processor inside, the addition of
dual band WiFi and a tweaked remote with audio out (headphones included)
for private listening. Of course, hardware is only half the story and
the new player debuts a reworked interface that will also spread to
"current generation" players (read: Roku 2, new HD, LT and Streaming
Stick) as an update in April. Roku 3 goes on sale tomorrow through
Roku.com and Amazon.com for $99, taking the place of the current top of the line XS model. We'll go more in depth about what's new this time around, including a video preview of the new UI, after the break.
