But is hard to find and not easily available in Canada yet.

=(

At least I have my hands on a new Nexus for the time being.

Can you compare it to a Roku?

I ordered it and picked it up in Sumas, WA, which is ten minutes away.
The hardest part was trying to explain to Canadian customs what it actually was.

The second hardest part was getting it set up because Google has rigged it that only Merkans can use it.
But my son has a Nexus 7 and getting the apk was easy enough.

The YouTube app is just excellent. You can queue up video after video.

Looking forward to when it actually comes to Canada and the UK (so I can run a UK IP and watch British TV!)

A sure buy just for the price alone. I'm hoping other media services will be utilizing it in the future.
