I think it's interesting...

Get the CC form factor and simplicity but with independent interface and remote... for 15$ more. Nice option.

 

I presume it will just replace Roku 1 (and it supports Youtube channel  smile.png which even Roku 2 doesn't)

Looks good, though only the spec of a Roku 1 :(

Well at least there is a reason now to get it (before, Roku 1, IMO was never a smart choice...)

I too, just saw this announcement. Would have been nice if 8th 8 clued the remote from the Roku 2 or 3 that has the headphone jack built in.

 

Does anyone know if this stick will support the Roku client?

Not 100% as I have not got one, but looking at the spec and knowing it run's fine on a Roku 1 I would say it is highly likely.

Thought I would bump this and let users know I have 2 of these in use now at my home and the official Roku app works just fine on them.

How the performance on those?

Really can't complain, plenty of speed navigating the interface, nice to have a real remote, and the same app functionality as a Roku 3 when it comes to their Android, iOS app for beaming / searching for content. I'm sure the Roku 3 blows it away in navigation speed and launching of apps, but for the 2 bedrooms they went into they are more then sufficient.
