After [making a stop at the FCC recently](http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/18/wd-tv-play-media-hub-revealed-by-the-fcc/), Western Digital's WD TV Play streaming media player got an official announce this morning. The [Roku](http://www.engadget.com/tag/roku)-esque streaming media box touts easy setup, a $70 price tag, and connectivity with a variety of apps (YouTube, Netflix, Hulu Plus, VUDU, SlingPlayer, Spotify, Pandora and Facebook are specifically named). The device can also manage and display your own media, via DLNA-friendly devices, all in 1080p. A remote control comes with the device, but there's also a free WD TV Remote application headed to iOS and Android devices -- you'll need WiFi running to get the app synced up, of course.
The WD TV Play is already available for purchase via [Western Digital's online store](http://store.westerndigital.com/store/wdus/en_US/DisplayAccesoryProductDetailsPage/ThemeID.21986300/productID.256031100), and there's no word on retail availability. We've reached out to Western Digital to find out more.
