Roku to Launch Cordless Streaming Stick for TVs
Ok interesrting, the idea is you just plug this “stick” into the back of your TV, and boom you have ROKU without the little box.
Neat idea, except… why bother? Why not just put the Roku service inside the TV. Just about everything being sold today is a connected TV, right? So just include Roku as a menu option…
Oh yeah right… unless the TV manufacturers buy the rights from Roku to do that, Roku doesn’t make any money. They make money by selling hardware.
Hmm can you smell Roku powered TV’s in our future? Well it would make more sense to me than a Stick.
Disclosure, I own and love my Roku box, it’s the best $75 I ever spent.
