Let me be the first one to say, again, well done! Pity the HDTV plasma doesn't come with...

Yeah, I don't have an HDTV yet, but when I get that new Samsung, I'll definitely want to check out what Roku has to offer!

One product of their's that I've drooling over for a long time is the Soundbridge (http://www.rokulabs.com/products/soundbridge/index.php).

Too bad as a college dorm resident, I have no use or money for it. But it sure does look good! :) The biggest selling factor is the fact that it support Rendevous networking.

Keep up the good work Roku Labs!

Yeah, but like you point out, $500 is way too expensive. You can basically make a similar DIY setup for a lot less (might not be a similar form factor though ;-)).

True true... but this looks so cool! :) Hehehe.. anyway, the smaller one costs only $225, which isn't all too bad, especially if you don't have a cheap PC lying around.
