Apple TV to take over the living room
Apple today premiered Apple TV, a set-top device to wirelessly play all your favorite iTunes content from your computer on your widescreen TV, including movies, TV shows, music, photos and podcasts. Using Apple TV’s interface, anyone can browse and view their entire collection of digital media from across the room using the Apple Remote.
Apple TV has a 40GB hard drive to store up to 50 hours of video, 9,000 songs, 25,000 photos or a combination of each and is capable of delivering high-definition 720p output. Apple TV is easy to connect to a broad range of widescreen TVs and home theater systems and comes standard with HDMI, component video, analog and optical audio ports. Using high-speed AirPort 802.11 wireless networking, Apple TV can auto-sync content from one computer or stream content from up to five additional computers right to your TV without any wires.
Apple TV, which includes the Apple Remote, will be shipping in February through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of USD$299.

An 802.11b/g/n wireless network using AirPort, AirPort Extreme(R) or 10/100 Base-T Ethernet networking required. Internet access is required and a broadband connection is recommended.
