I have had the Apple TV for about 4 days now. Im in love. However
There are a few things that I wish Apple would fix. Many of these have been mentioned be...
Includes no cables to connect to your TV
Remote is tiny and may get lost easy
Doesnt work with older
Non-widescreen TVs
Movie rentals must be watched within 24 hour timeframe
No subscription payment options
Lackluster file support for non-iTunes video formats
If you don't have a console or a smart TV, the Apple TV can help turn your TV into a modern entertainment area. But unless you purchase most of your entertainment through Apple, it simply doesn't feel quite as worthwhile for a South African consumer.Apple...
Sleek external design and elegant user interface; simple, streamlined setup; streams music and video files purchased from the iTunes Store; capable of HD video output; includes state-of-the-art 802.11n wireless networking while maintaining backwards compa...
Only streams iTunes content--leaving it up to you to get your videos into iTunes; current crop of iTunes movies and TV shows look much worse on a big-screen TV; no HD content on iTunes Store; cant connect to older non-wide-screen TVs; small 40GB hard driv...
Although the current lack of high-quality video at the iTunes Store is a major shortcoming, the Apple TV delivers a simple and elegant streaming media solution.

®, La música se corta al navegar otras opciones. Buscar algo en las largas listas de archivos es un dolor de cabeza. La opción para ver fotos es muy limitada y no permite acceder directamente a una imagen, sin contar que es casi imposible elegir qué quier

Por suerte me demoré dos meses en terminar este review. Las primeras semanas lo usaba poco. Usaba el PS3 para ver los videos en MPEG-4 y el AirPort Express con AirTunes para escuchar mi música. Hoy sólo uso el Apple TV. Todo el día escucho música y en l...

Usage restreint dû aux formats pris en charge, difficile à connecter à un ampli, pas de service VOD alternatif... toujours pas d'applications !

Abstract: Apple se diversifie de plus en plus et attaque le high-tech sur tous les fronts. Preuve en est, l’entreprise a choisi de supprimer le terme « Computer » de son nom et s’appelle désormais officiellement Apple Inc. Après le s...
Simplicité d’installation et d’utilisation, objet particulièrement design et silencieux, accès au contenu Itunes de 5 ordinateurs allumés maximum, synchronisation de son propre disque dur de 40 Go avec celui d’un ordinateur.
Films DivX, Xvid et WMV non reconnus, chaleur dégagée, pas d’accès complet à Itunes Store, capacité du disque dur de seulement 40 Go.
Avec l’Apple TV, tout utilisateur lambda, sans compétence réseau particulière, peut transformer les ordinateurs de son domicile en serveur de fichiers « Itunes » pour son salon. Cet appareil n’a de compte à rendre à personne en termes de desig...
Apple TV potrebbe essere l'inizio di qualcosa di importante. Se fossimo negli Stati Uniti, dove i servizi di streaming sono già numerosi e diffusi, probabilmente avremmo impostato il discorso più sul presente che sul futuro (e il voto sarebbe stato più al...
