Category: Apple First impressions from San Francisco... Apple TV is only 720p so let's call it medium defintion. I'm not sure of a lot of other details. For example, Does it require an 802.11n hub? It looks a bit like all content has to come from your computer; the spec doesn't seem to allow for recording from an external tuner. If it has no video ADCs we are going to need to keep our PVRs so this device will be just one more input into the mess that is our home theatre. I was kind of hoping for some switching capabilities. Whatever, it's not going to be available to us for a while anyway. Also not available (until at least 2008 as far as I can tell) is an 8GB phone that can play some of your music. When it is available, Apple will do us the favour of deciding which carrier we will use and what plan we will be on. Thanks Apple. Waiting for corrections, DB. |
