Conclusion
The easy setup, iTunes compatibility, and iPod-like interface and design is probably more than enough to make the Apple TV a slam dunk for consumers who are already faithful devotees of all things Mac and iPod. And there's no denying that its design and video streaming performance bests similar network media products we've seen to date. But the product's iTunes-only compatibility means that you're locked into Apple's online offerings, which--for now, anyway--don't look so good on exactly the sort of big-screen HDTVs with which the Apple TV is designed to be paired. If and when Apple improves the quality of its store's offerings--or includes a better option for reading or converting existing video files--the Apple TV would be a much easier recommendation. Until then, it's best suited for iTunes addicts only.
