Roku Adds Amazon on Demand Video

[admin]

The little box that could is making a comeback. After getting a large portion of their market co-opted by the XBox 360 and newer Blu-ray players with Netflix streaming ability, a lot of people wondered what was next for the little box from Roku. Apparently a deal with Amazon to stream their On-Demand selection. What's exciting about this announcement is not so much that Amazon is on Roku, but that anyone other than Netflix is on Roku. This paves the way for other third party content providers like Hulu (we hope) to develop apps for the $99 box.

I'm itching to add Hulu streaming to my setup, but don't want to get an Xbox to do it.

I thought Boxee + AppleTV was the answer, but the content providers didn't care for that arrangement.

I wonder who's going to earn my money?

(maybe it's looking more like HTPC time for me...)
