Roku Breaks the Smart TV Mold

Roku recently unveiled a new solution to a better smart TV–the Roku Streaming Stick. The wireless device is about the size of a standard USB flash drive that will plug into MHL-enabled HDMI television ports, allowing it to deliver power and other critical elements for the streaming experience.

According to the Saratoga, Calif.-based company, the Streaming Stick features built-in Wi-Fi, processor, memory and software and allows interface with onboard devices from laptop computers to iPads and smartphones. It does not require cables or a separate power source and can be controlled by the TV remote.
