Roku's Announces Timeframe for Other Content Providers for Netflix Player

It's no secret that Roku's Netflix Player will eventually provide content from providers other than just Netflix. Well now at least, Netflix has given us a timeframe for the new content rollout. According to Forbes:

Twerdahl wouldn't disclose sales figures, but he says Roku calculated initial shipments based on sales of competing digital delivery products such as Apple (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people ) TV and Vudu. Twerdahl also says the Roku player won't be limited to Netflix. Later this year, a simple software update will allow the box to stream content from other "big name" providers.

Yeah we know that's about as vague as can be but the more we hear Roku confirm this is coming, the happier we get.
