Sneak Peek: Roku XR Player
Engadget has received a few snapshots from an anonymous source showing the second generation device from various angles. The source states the Roku XR will sport built-in 802.11n connectivity and a USB port. Unfortunately, no hard upgrade specification details are available, but it would be nice to see the addition of Gigabit Ethernet, DLNA / UPnP support, and full 1080p video out (current model only does 720p). But, hey… I guess we’ll have to wait and see what turns up in the next couple months.
Aside: Did Roku drop all their other products (i.e. Roku SoundBridge Network Music Player / Radio)? Their homepage only has info on the Roku Player presently.
