Without horrendous Androi
The editors didn't like
Most of Roku's 700+ channels
Just like most apps
Most art
And most people who raise their hands to comment in class

The Roku 3 has an updated remote with voice search, which works very well; as well as the unique headphone jack for private listening. The Roku platform delivers more apps than competitors, constant updates and doesn't favor one content provider over othe
The cheaper Streaming Stick is just as fast as Roku 3 and offers all of Roku's platform advantages, and you can add the voice-search and headphone jack remote for $30 more. The Fire TV offers a wider list of games
Voice search makes the Roku 3 the best video streamer in its price class, but if you don't need it or the remote's headphone jack, save some money and get the Roku 2....

No out-of-the-box local streaming. App only currently available for iPhone/iPod Touch
The Roku 3 adds an interface overhaul along with a nifty remote-mounted headphone jack for private listening, but the Roku 2 is a better buy....
