Strengths: Compact Easy to Use no need for the 100+Gig version
Weakness: Expensive for what it does.
Don't buy the bigger HD version, and don't spend more than $199 for it. Thats ipod money and for that it was worth it for me to have access to all of my music and photos on my main tv. From there I also have access to my whole house system. I really like the fact that I can have access to all of my DVD's with a few clicks. It takes a bit of time but is worth it, down load mac the ripper and...
Strengths: Streams very well from PC or Mac, the interface truly feels like it's an iPod on your TV, compared to alternatives available. appletv is probably the best for mac AND pc; small and compact so it fits
Weakness: No HD-content just yet, accepted formats is limited, no keyboard (for password protected networks), the music gets cutoff when you leave the Music sub-menu, for $300 you'd like a bigger HDD
The AppleTV accomplishes its job by streaming multimedia from multiple computers. The streaming is top notch with the only inconvenience of waiting for it to load (only about 5 seconds for a TV show).Fast-forwarding is not favorable to me because holding down the fastforward/rewind button can go too slowly. You can jump one minute by simply clicking the fastforward/rewind if you want. When...
Strengths: nice design and nice marketing
Weakness: expensive and almost useless
As much as hypered, in the reality this AppleTV does the things most of which can be done with a $29 DVD player can do. Given the resolution of downloaded video clip, it makes no sense for someone to play it back in his HDTV. Worse, the time spent on downloading is more than the length of video clip.
THE GOOD: Provides access to a variety of free and premium media content--including movie rentals, TV shows, music, photos, podcasts, and YouTube videos--on your living room TV; streams media from networked Mac or Windows PCs; purchases and rentals can be done directly through iTunes Store on your TV; movie rentals from all major studios include some in HD and surround sound; sleek external...

Apple?s video receiver is stylish and easy to set up, but you?re confined to iTunes-supported content.

The Apple TV isn't the first media-streaming set-top box on the market, but it's the first one from Apple, and is therefore the one to bring what was once an early-adopter technology to the masses. For those of you still catching up, the Apple TV wirelessly grabs your iTunes content-including videos, music, podcasts, audiobooks, and photos-from your PC and makes it available on your HDTV or home...

In its current form, the Apple TV won't follow in the world-altering footsteps of the iPod. With its simple setup, superb streaming, ease of use, and quality output, it's a great piece of gear, but it will have more-limited appeal than the iPod largely because of the nature of DRM and video.

The Apple TV is capable within the narrow goals Apple has established for it. In fact, it does what Apple promises very well. But is that enough? <p>

Love it; a great product.
Strengths: Told cable TV to take a hike.
Weakness: Not enough time in this life to watch everything available.
Disconnected cable TV last year. Subscribed to many podcasts and, with just the local news over antenna, we've got enough shows; more, actually, than there are hours available to watch. I don't bother syncing much of my music but that's a personal choice. I do sync a number of iPhoto albums and they become my TV's screensaver. Any videos I get that aren't in the MP4/H264 format required by the...
