Apple TV – another way to enjoy Apple resourses
Actually there in the market have been some streaming-focused devices through which we can enjoy web resourses on TV, such HD movies and TV shows. So what are the differences between Apple TV and them? I think that is a little similar as that between iPhone and other brands’ cell phones. To me, iPhone is the name of a new digital gadget, but not a cell phone, as it is from Apple. That is also my opinion on all the apple products.
Steve Jobs just pulled out the world famous “one more thing” for nothing other than… a new Apple TV. It’s now a streaming-focused device in a small matte black enclosure we’re calling “the hockey puck.” It has HDMI, Ethernet, optical audio, and USB plugs around back, and of course 802.11n for the cable-averse.
Inside there isn’t much — there’s no local storage, which makes this thing an entirely different beast than old Apple TVs, relying entirely on the “cloud” for content. Those new streaming HD TV rentals from ABC and Fox will be a mere 99 cents, while first run HD movies will be a less thrilling $4.99. Other services include Netflix, YouTube, Flickr, and Mobile Me, along with Rotten Tomatoes integration in the movie catalog.
You can also stream from your computer, if you miss those old hard drive-sourced days of yore, but iOS 4.2’s AirPlay also enables streaming from an iPad straight to an Apple TV for something much more surreal. The best news? Apple will start shipping this sucker four weeks from now for $99.
