The bad: Only streams iTunes content--leaving it up to you to get your videos into iTunes; current crop of iTunes movies and TV shows look much worse on a big-screen TV; no HD content on iTunes Store; can't connect to older non-wide-screen TVs; small 40GB hard drive has only 33GB of usable disk space; oversimplified remote can't control other devices; no ability to purchase iTunes Store content directly through Apple TV; no A/V cables included; no Internet radio support.
The bottom line: Although the current lack of high-quality video at the iTunes Store is a major shortcoming, the Apple TV delivers a simple and elegant streaming media solution.

Typical Apple - overy hyped, under performing & over priced!
Mar 30, 2007Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: It's white?
Cons: Digital formats (input AND output), expandability, price.
Opinion:
Not sure what Apple are attempting to do with this one - supplying the limited range of video media content available through iTunes to your tv when that content is designed to be watched on a small window on your computer or even smaller window on your ipod was always going to present scaling problems. This is one product that will only sell to those that buy anything branded Apple I'm afraid - it certainly won't create any new markets.
