That said though, I’d think about getting one in the future to replace my XD if it dies. Roku is quite a nice piece of kit for a small amount of coin.

From another article  ”It will be compatible with the new MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) standard. MHL provides power to the stick from the HDMI input, so the device won’t work with most TVs — even most new ones. (MHL is designed as a way to power up your smartphone and access media from the device at the same time.)”

Probably not something I’ll be interested in anytime soon as I have an XD and a 2XS and don’t need a new TV, but its cool to see how small they’re getting and how they’re leveraging the TVs resources.  Hope they don’t try to integrate them too much or get bought out.

Still though, pretty crazy they can pack the processor, memory, and everything in such a tiny package.
