Roku, a company stationed in Saratoga, California, recently created a set-top box capable of competing with the AppleTV at $129 less. The Netflix player gives Netflix ultimate subscribers the ability to stream Netflix movies to their TV directly from the internet with no computer middle-man. Plus, according to Tim Twerdalh, vice president of Roku, this is only the beginning. Within three weeks of the product’s first shipment, it was completely sold out. To meet the demand, Roku had to increase its production in Asia and its air-freighting units in America. Twerdahl wouldn’t disclose any sales figures.
