    I haven't seen 3D mentioned anywhere. If it does support 3D it's not obvious.

    EDIT: Only info I can find on the BCM11130 is the following description: "Merlyn? 1080p Dual-Core Enterprise Applications & Multimedia Processor". Broadcom does have specs available for the BCM11140 which does support 3D. Guess we'll have to wait for Broadcom to release specs on the DCM11130 to see if the chip set is even capable of 3D.

    Re: Roku 3 now Available

    I've had about two hours to play with the new Roku 3.

    The Roku 3 footprint is ever so slightly larger than that of the Roku 2. The main differences are the new UI, a faster processor (BCM1130) and what appears to be 512 MB of Micron NAND Flash (twice that of the Roku 2XS). As previously mentioned the remote has an added headphone jack and Roku also includes a pair of purple ear buds. Roku also includes Angry Birds Space for free vice Angry Birds which came free with the Roku 2 XS. The plug on the power adapter is also much smaller than the one found on the Roku 2 so you can't reuse the old power adapter with the new Roku.

    Other than the redesigned UI the Roku 3 performs similar to the Roku 2 albeit it's able to load menus and images faster. I did notice that several of the movies on the Netflix app showed as being available in Super HD on the Roku 3. I don't recall seeing this on the Netflix app my Roku 2 XS and I didn't think my internet service provider was one of the companies that Netflix partnered with to provide Super HD streams.

    Streamingmedia has a few pics of circuit boards for the Roku 3 and remotes.

    I ordered the Roku 3 from Amazon yesterday, thanks to my prime membership it was delivered today. I really like the new WiFi, and new processor. I can now connect to a 5 Ghz radio. Vudu gives me 3 bars HDX wirelessly, previously I needed to connect by ethernet to playback HD or HDX. Playback is now very smooth, no buffering during playback.

    Sent a kindly e-mail to Roku regarding the accepted mores of customer service and how consideration and customer centric attitudes pay in this day and age with so many other fancy devices to choose from out there. Doubt they care, but I do feel a little better for the e-mail.
    Yep, same thing here. They said order had already been prepped for shipment. Yet it's been 24 hours and no confirmation of shipment either. HA !

    I'd love to get myself a roku but they've done away with the damned optical out again. I'll be sticking with my PS3 for a good while yet by the looks of it.

    After you have a chance to analyze your Roku 3 please give us a review. Thanks.

    I really like the iphone app that can act as a controller for the Roku 3 - and the iPhone will provide the Roku 3 with a full size keyboard.

    I would like to know how the Roku 3 displays photos from a smartphone.

    Even the earphone jack on the Roku 3's remote seems like a cool idea.

    If only it had a built in web browser.

    The 3 is supposed to have a processor that's 5 times faster than XDS. If it's even a fraction true and even if this new interface comes to the older boxes it will be MUCH better on the new one.

    Re: Roku 3 now Available

    This could be my next box.

    Got the Roku 2 XS for Christmas and it's in my office. If I sell it to my neighbor for $50 I can easily upgrade to the Roku 3.

    She wanted a Roku for Christmas to turn her not-so-smart TV into a Smart-TV (sort of). But she was too cheap to cough up the cash so perhaps I can dangle my XS in her face and convince her to buy it off me.

    I just bought a Roku 2XS bundle at Sam's Club last month so I will be returning it and buying a Roku 3 instead. Got love Sam's Club 90 days return policy with no questions asked.
    How the heck do you check order status or cancel an order at the Roku store???

    It's not the same as the main Roku sign log in and I want to order from Amazon now since I have a gift card.
