  • Vi får ikke tilgang til halvparten av innholdet på iTunes, det er for omstendelig å fikse filmer på egen hånd og internettfunksjonene er begrenset. Som et apparat for bare å lytte til musikk og se på bilder, er det ganske enkelt ikke verdt prisen.

  • Abstract:  Dette er et av produktene fra Apple vi ikke kommer til å anbefale. Riktignok har Apple TV mange kvaliteter, men her på bruket ser vi ikke hensikten med å investere i denne enheten. Først og fremst er dette en enhet du vil ha hvis du har konsentrert alt...

  • Elegant, Brukervennlig, Stillegående, Støtter 802.11n
  • Begrenset harddiskkapasitet, Lite videoinnhold tilgjengelig, Krever iTunes, Støtter få videoformater, Ikke volumstyring på fjernkontroll, Ingen kabler (utenom strøm) følger med, Fungerer ikke med eldre bilderørsTVer
  • Det vi liker ved Apple TV er at den er en elegant, brukervennlig og stillegående boks som er flottere enn noen av de andre avspillerne og utstyret vi har ved TV-en. Den er enkel å bruke, og nevnte vi at den ser flott ut? Dessverre så holder ikke dette...

  • Abstract:  dingz.no: Apple TV er mediestreameren som Apple-sjef Steve Jobs lanserte i begynnelsen av januar med tilsynelatende genuin begeistring, men som ingen egentlig husket noe av etterpå fordi Jobs i samme slengen lanserte det meste hypa/omtalte (stryk det s...

  • Abstract:  Apple TV står der på boksen og det er lidt af et paradoks. For der er dybest set ikke tale om TV men om en boks, der forbinder dit TV med din computer. Apple TV giver dig trådløs adgang til mange ting på din computer, som også kan være rare at have på ...

  • Abstract:  Det æble forstår sig i den grad at sno sig om vores designopfattelser. Se nu bare på Apples nyeste barn - Apple TV. I den grad indholdsløs på iTunes-manér, men noget så gennemført lækker.Egentlig er det jo bare en flad madkasse, der skal stå ved siden...

  • Abstract:  Miracast 無線影音傳輸設備是最近很夯的一種應用,究竟什麼是 Miracast呢 ?我們來看一下 維基百科 的解釋吧!Miracast是由Wi-Fi聯盟於2012年所制定,以Wi-Fi直連(Wi-Fi Direct)為基礎的無線顯示標準。支援此標準的3C裝置可透過無線方式分享視訊畫面,例如手機可透過Miracast將影片或照片直接在電視或其他裝置播放而無需任何連接線,也不需透過無線存取點(AP, Access Point)。簡單來說就是可以不用透過 MHL 轉接頭直接利用 Miracast 就可以將...
