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.

BWHAHAHA..

Man I feel stupid for buying a 20 $ VGA cable to Magically Watch movies from my laptop. I woulda been way way cooler if I had bought a 200$ box that does the same thing.

Boy am I stupid

This is why I hate apple. Crap like this

The revolution will be televised.

.

They are trying to make it look like that have invented some amazing thing that allows your Media to be broadcast onto you TV. WEOWOOWOWOW All you need is a cable.

Oh your computer is in a different room then your tv??

Well you can buy a similar device for around 100$ that will wireless sync your media.

Or if you have a cheap laptop you could use that to access your other files on the network.

I'd prefer my Tivo box because I can send video/music files both ways.

How about Windows Media Center and the XBox 360? You can send movies, pictures, music, etc wirelessly from your PC to the 360...

I guess $300 for Apple's box...or $300 for Microsoft's 360 that allows you to play games, play DVDs', download movies, tv shows, game demos, etc....

I guess I would go with Apple's box...

Funniest thing is the box only works with widescreen TV's, yet iTunes only sells standard def video, in the elequent words of Gob Bluth "Come on!".

meh, i can do that already. plus as you should know by now apple limits you to things in the apple universe...you couldnt stream an xvid file for instance (without hacking the thing).

gizmodo has a 360 v. apple tv comparison. they seem to say the same thing. apple tv works well but for almost the same price you could get something that does more.
