Roku Returns to CES for Announcements, Product Showcases, Last Gadget Standing Competition and Speaking Engagements

PALO ALTO, Calif. –(Business Wire)– Jan. 3, 2005 — Roku SoundBridge and Roku PhotoBridge HD1000 Product Lines Will Be Shown at CES Innovations Showcase, Microsoft’s and Analog Devices’ Booths.

Roku, the leader in digital media players for the home, returns to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. The company is expected to make announcements regarding its SoundBridge and PhotoBridge HD product lines at the show. Just last month, Roku announced that its SoundBridge network music player was an honoree of a 2005 CES Innovations Award in the High Performance Audio category.

Roku’s SoundBridge product line will be showcased during an on-stage demonstration at Ziff Davis’ Last Gadget Standing competition on Thursday, Jan. 6 at 10:30 a.m., hosted by PC Magazine Editor-in-Chief Michael Miller and Consumer Technology TV Personality Robin Raskin. A group of dynamic companies will battle until one gadget is left standing among audience members. Fans of SoundBridge can cheer and vote online by visiting PC Magazine’s Web site www.pcmagazine.com.

SoundBridge is a network music player product line that lets consumers play digital music anywhere in their homes — connecting their stereos or powered speakers to digital music collections on their computer and Internet radio stations around the world. PhotoBridge HD1000 is the only digital media player on the market, made for the sharp resolution of HDTV, while capable of working with analog TV. PhotoBridge HD lets consumers enjoy digital media — photos, art, music, and video on any TV, including HDTV. Both products can be seen at Microsoft’s booth No. 7155 in the Central Hall. SoundBridge can also been seen at Analog Devices’ booth No. 15206, also in the Central Hall.
