That’s nice to see that Angry Birds is adding another platform in its portfolio. Unfortunately, the controller for Roku is a point and click type which is a little old for me. I still prefer Kinect style sensor.

Why would Roku release a new remote control and not improve the search capability?? (ala Boxee keyboard on remote, or Wii style point-n-click)?? I love my Roku box, but the archaic scroll-thru-the-alphabet-to-spell-keywords is a tremendous fail for ease-to-use.

I gave my old Roku box to my parents, and was really disappointed that you have to submit a credit card number to set them up; there’s not an easy way to bypass this without contacting them.
