Default Amazon and YouTube Coming Soon to Roku?

http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2009-02...a-youtube-next/

"We knew Amazon Video on Demand was headed to Roku’s media streamer ($99) early this year. And now, via their forums, we have word that the service has entered private beta. I had hoped Amazon VOD functionality was hidden within the recent 1.5 software update, however it’s rolled into a more significant 2.0 upgrade."

Roku is going to need to change the name of The Netflix Box to better reflect this added functionality.  They are basically taking what was an outstanding one-trick pony (watch for my review to be posted shortly) and giving it an entire repertoire of content.  I have not had reason to try Amazon's video service yet, but this might be just the reason.
