I have a Roku and it actually isn't all that bad either. I don't tend to use it very much. But from what I recall, it's cheaper than all options, has pretty much the same options (although, all control is from the remote, and best of all it looks like a little pipe bomb.

that answer was vague, because i'm using it as a pretext to hang out.

the remote is pretty simple, there's no alpha numeric, so it takes a bit of dexterity to find a certain song on the network. think of the ipod with like 8 additional buttons, and no spinny wheel. it picks up internet radio presets pretty easily, and primarily works through the main apps such as wm10 and itunes. if you use winamp or some linux based open source thingy, i'd research more before getting roku.
