New interface is faster to navigate and is more intuitive than with previous Roku boxes. Quick menu navigation. Integrated/cross channel search is incredibly useful.
No out-of-the-box local streaming. App only currently available for iPhone/iPod Touch
The Roku 3 adds an interface overhaul along with a nifty remote-mounted headphone jack for private listening, but the Roku 2 is a better buy....

450 channels means you'll never hurt for content. Remote doubles as game controller. Improved UI
