After my first day of using the Apple TV I reached some initial conclusions.
If…
you have a HDTV, and
you have a sizable music and video collection that you use iTunes to manage, and
you have an account with ITMS, then
…the Apple TV is a great addition to you media experience.
( If you happen to be an Apple Mac user, all the better. )
However, if you don’t meet the above conditions you may be disappointed if you purchase an Apple TV.
All-in-all the Apple TV does what it was designed to do and it seems to do it well. Yes, it just works. :-)
I meet the above conditions and I love the fact that I can now purchase a classic TV show or movie on my computer and watch it in my living room in just a few minutes. And how about those videocast or podcast. Set your iTunes to download the new ones you subscribe to automatically and then you can check for any new releases from your living room and watch or listen to them from there. You don’t have to even go to you computer. Nice!
One other observation…I hope Apple can upgrade these units to support 1080i/p output in the future but honestly the 720p looks good on my HDTV.
