Without Airplay this is mostly worthless to me. I just don't sit down and watch movies on my phone. I'd like to stop using my xbox (and paying for xbox live) for amazon+netflix+hulu, but apple tv doesn't have all of them yet. I should probably get a roku, but i'd like to also get airplay in addition to the above 3. :-(

We bought a Vizio 42 inch on sale last year for about $300, and it plays everything we've ever needed - Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, Hulu, YouTube, Pandora. It's definitely more expensive than a Roku, but did the trick.

Come to think of it, the Samsung Blu-Ray player we bought the year before also plays all of those services, too.

Both devices have been great - wireless support and smooth interfaces.

Exactly my dilemma. And Roku doesn't play YouTube.
