Remember that little Roku box that brought you Netflix and….um…Netflix? Well, they’re not giving up on it yet, and have announced a deal with MediaFly to integrate some nice online video content. These types of devices must be feeling the pressure with so many TV’s adding similar features, but it’s hard to argue against the Roku and its very reasonable $100 cost.

Mediafly apparently intends to expand its Internet A/V aggregation service beyond podcasts, bringing it into competition with Hulu.com. Specifically, today’s announcement states: “…podcasts are just the beginning. As more media companies realize they can deliver high quality, personalized audio and video to the masses through Mediafly on the Roku player, there is no limit to how they may leverage this inexpensive, simple-to-operate media delivery ecosystem.”
