Hey guys~

I got back from the apple store and was playing around with the apple tv. I must say it is a bit cooler than i had first thought it would be. Only thing i wodner is, why didn't apple use a more ipod scroll-wheel like remote for these devices? I mean maybe people don't have a thousand movies, but for the music, and photo options, it sort of sucked scrolling through them when i was used to the nice elegance of my scroll wheel..

It was just something that i thought of, and wondered why apple wouldn't go on something it's known for, the ease of the scroll wheel..

thanks.

Perhaps cost? Size? Battery?

I think its fine...you just hold down the button and it goes faster

Scoller wheel might be a bit big for remote.

I really wish there was a way to integrate it into a universal remote. I haven't seen anything on this...and it's probably something that's keeping me from getting one.

My Logitech Harmony controls my AppleTV just fine.
