From: Chad Smith ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.telecompetitor.com/roku-introduces-ott-on-a-stick/ I'm not even going to pretend to know if it runs Linux or not. It's a Roku on a HDMI stick - not a USB stick, an HDMI stick. For TVs with powered HDMI - or MHL enabled ports. I have OnLive (Online Game System - onlive.com ), and they have a small, smart-phone-sized HDTV gaming console... about the same size as current Rokus / AppleTVs / etc... And Roku came out with a Game System this year. Imagine next gen game consoles with streaming media and websurfing that you don't even see because they are tiny stick on the back of your HDTV. It's like the Raspberry Pi thing, (which is auctioning off 2 of their Beta Boards, btw - raspberrypi.org/archives/489 ) - only probably more expensive than $25. *- Chad W.
