Got your wish!

I will pre-order as soon as the apple store is back on line.

Nice updates to all of the products. I know some will be disappointed, but most every major gripe I heard last year or even six months ago has been addressed.

Did they announce Netflix on Apple tv? I didn't see that.

For the Apple TV - why are they not allowing you to "buy" media?

It doesn't necessarily mean the Apple TV needs storage - you should be allowed to buy media through Apple TV with all your media stored on the iTunes server and you can basically download / watch the stuff you have bought without paying a fee everytime and have it streamed on demand to your Apple TV.

Does it still keep playing on the device as well? That's a big waste of battery life if you just want to stream video to a large screen.

Nope, just acts as a controller.

Was really hoping for a new iLife today, so far iTunes 10 is the only thing I'm "slightly" excited about (which is sad).

Also was really hoping the new appletv would be run off of iOS, still not sure why it isn't, why have a 3rd variation?
I have the older ATV and the new one just isn't offering me much more.

Buy a new tv. It is 2010... It is not like HDMI came out in 2009.

If he buys a new TV he wouldn't need an AppleTV. My LCD streams Netflix, vudu, etc and has widgets. Also has DNLA to stream from my home server.

This is really a niche product.

No mention of the White iPhone 4, lame.

 

[ghostlyorb]

I'm buying the apple tv now... it's more worth it! And just $99!

 

[trekkie604]

ick coldplay.

 

[breatheasy]

Oh jesus not coldplay.

/Stream

 

[marksman]

Wow at $100 they will destroy Roku unless they lower their prices.

Roku lowered their prices yesterday.

Yeah, you don't really need AppleTV if you have HDTV and PS3 like me.

 

[RalfTheDog]

I was hoping for Clash At Demonhead for the band.

 

[someone28624]

OMG, now they're gonna subject me to Coldplay. Make it end.

 

[Dorfdad]

No mention of resolution, no metion of formats it will support from your computer, no mention of apps! so it's a 99 netflix box which I own 4 of now with consoles and blu-ray. Not to mention i use VUDU which wipes the floor with all these companies 1080p streaming no stutter in 5.1!!! for 4-5.00 a rental!

I wanted more .99 is a good price point but they could have done SOOOOOOOOOOO much more with it. No specs even given..

I will continue using my WD PLus Live..

 

[Robert M.]

Coldplay? Awesome!

 

[doboy]

The CLASSIC IS GONE!!!!!!!

Bad move apple, bad move.

R.I.P iPod Classic
R.I.P Click Wheel
R.I.P The iPod as we new it.

Did Apple say they are going to kill Classic? So it's not really dead. It's just not getting an update.

 

[saxon48]

classic?

 

[daneoni]

First Gaga now Coldplay

 

[Dooger]

Great. Music for bet wetters

Streaming works fine, i have no issues with it the vast majority of the time and my ISP sucks.

The trouble is i don't want to rent. I have kids. They watch the same shows over and over and over. Apple TV saves me money because after they bought 20-30 shows they slow down the buying and start watching the reruns. That doesn't save me a dime if i have to keep renting.

Can i still buy all the same shows on itunes? if so, why not on the Apple TV? Can't i have a choice still or is this part of the price deal they made with abc and fox?

netflix, $12 a month includes blu-ray and instant stream. and they have 3 seasons of Dora

 

[shandyman]

I am not sure, they may be dropping purchases from iTunes. This may be at the request (demand) of the studios.

they never said anything about it, am sure he even said about buying films still when talking about itunes....

Probably because most people don't buy on their TV... too many problems trying to get it to sync back to the computer. I have a bunch of shows that refuse to go back.

Why Coldplay?!?! Bring out the Opeth, Steve.
