I want my iTV
I preordered an Apple TV and it arrived yesterday. Here's my initial impressions:
Down side:
Only works on wide-screen TVS
Doesn't include any cables
Only works with content (streaming or sync) from iTunes
Up side:
It works and it's easy to setup
The wi-fi piece appears to be flawless and it streams large files with ease
It has an USB port that doesn't appear to do anything...(yet)
Summary:
It's barely comparable to the XBox, inferior to the Microsoft media player and other streaming video devices, but it has potential. I have faith that Apple will continue to build on this base and that the hardware that's been sold is reflective of future software upgrades that will enhance it's usefulness.
Prediction:
It's a Tivo killer.
