The update also now lets you control any Roku on your home WiFi network, much like Apple’s Remote app on iOS. First off, the app as new, much cleaner design that Roku says is significantly faster and more easy to use. The update includes quite a few tweaks and new features, and bumps the app to version 3.0. Roku this afternoon has released an update for its Android ( and iOS) companion remote app. Conversely, Google’s Nexus Player, introduced in October, has yet to make a blip but it might also show up in results next year. Roku now offers a streaming stick, and Amazon’s Fire TV streaming stick leaves Apple as the only top player without a stick product in the streaming media device category.” “The market is changing rapidly to account for these new digital media habits. consumers watch on a TV set is non-linear, up from 38% in 2010, and it is already the majority for people 18-44,” said Barbara Kraus, Director, Research, Parks Associates. Consumer content choices are also increasing, with Showtime and Sony planning to launch their own OTT video services to compete with Netflix and HBO.
New entrant Amazon Fire TV is in fourth place with 10%. The research finds Roku is still the leading brand with 29% of sales, but Google Chromecast (20%) has supplanted Apple TV (17%) in second place. Roku and AppleTV represented two thirds of the market last year but with entrants like Chromecast and Amazon’s Fire TV/ Stick, the two dropped to around half the market. Priced at $35 but now going for just over $20, the dongle, which is controlled by Apps on iOS and Android devices rather than a traditional remote has passed the almost forgotten Apple TV and is closing in on the king of streamers, the Roku. Google’s diminutive and cheap Chromecast is making strong headway against its competitors according to a report today by Parks Associates.
