Apple TV (and what else you can do with it)
By admin | March 23, 2007
Just a quick reminder that you can order the apple TV today! (No I dont have apple shares)
From the apple site:
“Your computer is the center of your digital life. Your TV is the center of your entertainment life. But what if you want to watch movies, TV shows, movie trailers, podcasts, and photos from your computer on your TV? At $299, Apple TV brings iTunes to the big screen”
“The revolution will be televised.
Say you’ve just downloaded Cars from iTunes. Instead of huddling around your computer to watch, you pop some popcorn while your computer wirelessly syncs your new flick to Apple TV. Then you pull up a seat, put up your feet, and pick up the included Apple Remote to play your movie on TV. Give yourself a hand: You’ve just changed the way you watch digital media”
“iTunes to Apple TV, wire free.
Apple TV connects to your TV via an HDMI port or component video and audio ports. Its built-in, superfast 802.11 wireless capability syncs your iTunes library from any Mac or PC in the house. Best of all, what’s on Apple TV stays in sync: Anytime you change your library in iTunes, it changes on Apple TV — wirelessly, automatically”
“What’s on TV? Whatever you want.
Apple TV puts your iTunes library — movies, TV shows, music, and podcasts — plus movie trailers from Apple.com on your TV. And your digital photos from iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements or Adobe Album on a Windows PC appear in high definition, so you can put on a stunning big-screen slideshow”
Oh yeah, if you want to play anything else than what the iTunes store has to offer you, I suggest you check this page out.

Hey Bob me again.
Just a quick note about the Apple TV. While I am a die hard born again Mac addict (see Born Again Mac User), I am not sure this is a product I will buy, especially not after plunking down the change for that nice new 24″ monitor. Granted my plasma TV is way bigger than 24″ but if I were going to watch a downloaded flick I would do it there versus sending it over. Again just my impression. While I am sure this will be a massive seller for the company I just can’t justify the cost for myself.

I’m not sure if I’ll be buying it either, at the moment I’m already streaming movies wireless to my xbox360 from my macbook onto the HD TV
