Pocket-Sized Streaming Sticks

The New Roku Stick is Small In Size But Big On Features

— April 6, 2016 — Tech
The Roku stick has long been relied on by a lot of people who want to move on from traditional TV into a brave new world of versatile multimedia entertainment. However, the makers of this revolutionary device are not content to rest on their laurels, and so have gone ahead and come up with an exceptionally compact version of the Roku stick that is smaller than ever.

This new Roku stick is capable of 1080p HD output much like its venerable predecessor, but it has also been boosted with a brand new and highly desirable feature -- the ability to stream audio content directly to your iOS or Android mobile device. What's great about this feature is that it makes use of WiFi rather than unreliable Bluetooth.

Ultimately, the Roku stick is designed to make multimedia streaming a more compact and comfortable experience than ever before.
