The Latest on Roku’s Netflix Player: what is the hold up?

by JG Mason on May 23, 2008 at 03:14 PM


The little box that made us all jump up and down for a good 15 minutes is being delayed just a wee bit according to the Raku forums.  RokuTim says,

“Right now we’re looking at about 10 days from order placement to shipping. We have plenty of product on the way, but they’re on the proverbial “slow boat from China”. A boat arrives every week, so sit tight and we’ll get them too you as quickly as possible.”

Hmmm, makes you wonder how many and how quickly they thought they would sell?  I suspect there are a lot of little black boxes floating on the Pacific right about now.

Judging from the lucky few that got their Roku boxes in the first batch, the box is worth the wait:

Little box took like, 3 minutes to take out of the package and get it running, I’m flippin impressed!!!
