What makes it cool? Apple TV offers a variety of free and premium media content over the Net directly to your TV. Using Apple's popular iTunes Store, users can rent movies and TV shows, buy and listen to music, view photos, and access podcasts. The AppleTV also allows people to stream media from networked Mac or Windows PCs (assuming that it's already been imported into iTunes). Apple has struck deals with all the major movie studios, and some of the titles are in HD. It offers surround sound on some titles as well. The CNET Reviews team also like Apple's "sleek external design and elegant user interface." The setup is simple and it comes equipped with 802.11n wireless networking.
Pricing for movie rentals and purchases vary depending on whether they are in standard definition or high definition and depending on whether they are a new release or an older movie. But prices to rent movies are between about $1.99 and $4.99. And movies can be bought for about $15 a pop. The box currently comes in two versions: 40GB and 160GB.
What makes it not so cool? AppleTV doesn't work with older, non-widescreen TVs. And once again, the device doesn't come with a browser to access content that's available for free on the Web such as Hulu.com or TV.com. Basically, if it's not something you can get in iTunes, you won't be able to watch it on Apple TV.
