Roku channels its efforts into updated hardware, new content options | TechHive

Roku channels its efforts into updated hardware, new content options | TechHive: M-Go customers on Roku will also get two free movie rentals to try out the service. (Note that M-Go is available only in the U.S.)

To show how serious M-Go and Roku are about the partnership, M-Go is getting a dedicated launch button on the new Roku remotes, alongside Netflix, Amazon, and Blockbuster. M-Go tries to distinguish itself from other non-subscription video services (Vudu, iTunes Store, Amazon, and so on) by focusing on features related to personal relevance: custom lists (Cards) for quick access to favorite shows, movies, actors, and directors; the capability to fine-tune recommendations; and even links to other services that offer the content you’re looking for.
