Comments on: Roku unveils Roku 3 box with new UI and headphone-friendly remote http://gigaom.com/2013/03/05/roku-3/ Tue, 21 May 2013 13:32:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Rob Klaproth http://gigaom.com/2013/03/05/roku-3/#comment-1319086 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:54:49 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=617162#comment-1319086 Great update. Can you stream content from a server or network attached storage? Does it have a USB port? These have always been the two things that have made me steer clear of roku and go with wdtv live. AirPlay is over rated. 99 percent of the video content I consume on my iPad wont airplay due to drm restrictions. Amazon only airplays audio. The tv apps such as wb don’t even have airplay enabled so what’s the point???

I have a Roku 1, returned the Roku 2, and will probably get Roku 3 for the new UI (it’s long overdue) and for the headphone jack.

However, the headphone jack on this Roku’s remote just might be enough to make me buy it. At least twice each week I find myself opting to not watch a show because there will be no comfortable way for me to enjoy it on my 60″ TV at night without disturbing my sleeping wife.

Roku hopes that the feature will help consumers who want to watch TV without disturbing others — but one could argue that consumers have already made their iPads the viewing device of choice for that kind of use case.”

Lets see, 46” tv or a 10” tablet … The headphone jack is an awesome idea.
