Roku Video Player Preview – Amazon on Demand

Roku upgraded Engadget’s Roku Netflix Player to the new offering for Amazon Video on Demand. The Netflix Player, to reflect this, will now be known as the Video Player. Amazon Video on Demand is the second service to be offered on the player. Roku is opening the platform to third-party channels, so eventually the $99 box will be able to stream from all kinds of sources.

In the meantime, we’ll continue to wait for things like streaming from a home computer, Hulu, etc.
