Interesting, and probably close to true. However, for me, I'll wait for revision 2 or 3 for it, as I will the iPhone.
PS. Will the iPhone go WiFi through an Airport base station?

Today's engineers trudy accomplish wonders. All of those electronics on a double-sided PCB. It's amazing how it all works.

After gen-2 Apple TV comes out, I think they'll have a winner. Just because my favorite company in the whole wide world made it, doesn't mean it'll succeed.

What ever happened to the ipod HI-FI?

The AppleTV could make a terrific gaming console. The USB port could be connected to a controller hub of some sort, and the hard drive could store games. The unit's more than powerful enough to handle modern games (NVidia 7300 comes in handy here)--as is, it's already more powerful than the Wii. All they'd need would be developers.

This could really open up the Mac gaming market too; if the ATV became a successful game platform, it would be a piece of cake to port an ATV game to the Mac, seeing as they're both running OS X.

No one else is offering the specs of ATV for the price. It was clear from day 1 that it was a low margin product to me.

Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), which has an estimated value of $15
for $15 apple should put this in the mini, mac book, mac book black with 128 mb?
and the low end i-mac.
