Well, kinda. They never really announced it; rather, the device just showed up and was available for purchase in the store, but never online. At least, I never found it available for online purchase. It was listed as in store, just not for purchase unless you went into the store.
Anyway, it's gone. If you find one in the store, it's worth getting. Well, maybe. It's a good little device. But, it's no longer available. Cord Cutters News notice this earlier this week:
The streaming stick comes with 1.5GB of RAM and only streams in HD. It may not be the most powerful device out there, but for it being only HD that is likely more than enough. This is very similar to the Walmart $19.99 Onn Google TV, but that version was released earlier this year. The main difference is the earlier version is in 4K and this new cheaper model is just in HD.
Recently, Walmart raised the price of this stick by a few dollars but now has completely stopped selling the new device, marking it as out of stock, similar to other discontinued Onn products.
Walmart was unavailable for comment before the time of this posting.
My Streaming Life has used the Onn device and I like it. I hate to see it go away.
