Roku is one of the more popular media players and it just got a little better thanks to the latest update to the Android app. Now you can stream videos from select Android devices to your Roku, something you can't currently do with the Chromecast.

Unfortunately it's only compatible with a handful of devices: Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy S 4, Nexus 4, HTC One, and the 2012 Nexus 7. Although a small selection, at least they happen to represent the more popular models. Streaming will work on the Roku 3, Roku 2, Roku LT, Roku HD (2500 model), and Roku Streaming Stick.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
