I can't think of a receiver that doesn't support video via HDMI to a TV, if it has an HDMI connection.
if you want to watch your tv shows so badly, how about watching them when they air?
you can send me the .99 cents you saved as a thank you
It has an optical audio out on the back, too.
Which you don't even need since you can transmit video and audio through HDMI.
the biggest fail is still the iPod Nano they got rid of
Video
Camera
Bigger Screen
just to squeeze it in size (whats the point? the nano was tiny enough and if u really needed a micro device u could have got the shuffle)
and the price ... 159 for the 8 GB iPod Nano, this equals to about 200$
Agreed. It's something they took a way but didn't really say it. I bet you anything that people will get frustrated when they go into the store, pick the Nano up and hey, it doesn't do video anymore. On a side note, I think it's a good idea. That screen is a bit too small to watch video comfortably. And for the price, I think it was a good idea.
They moved the concept of video recording to the iPod Touch, which I think it should have started and stayed, but it was a good move. I'm kinda surprised that it doesn't have the 5MP the IP4 has though. That's kind of a bummer cuz I love the quality I have on my IP4. It's better than nothing though.
Micro USB?
Anyone else just notice the microUSB port on the back? Wonder how long until a hack surfaces.
Ports and interfaces
HDMI2
Optical audio
10/100BASE-T Ethernet
Built-in IR receiver
Micro-USB (for service and support)

So
in Mac Os X 10.7 the Close/max/min buttons are going to be like the new ones on itunes 10?
What a well thought out post full of critical thinking!
Not an amazing amount of critical thinking required when people are stating that a capability does not exist, which does in fact exist. In black and white.
but i think dolby digital cannot pass through the tv, which is why you'd want an audio out

I hope not.
maybe it will be a design option that becomes more standard depending on the app, but I like the current horizontal layout personally.
If you're using a receiver with HDMI, your connections should go through the receiver first before the TV.
Well yeah, I guess that works if you're using an older, pre-HDMI receiver.
appletv great for OTA users
My family was sick of paying $100 per month to comcast, so we've been watching roughly about 10 channels over the air. I think the appletv is great for people like us. now we can hook this up and use our wifi and watch some more shows, maybe even take advantage of netflix

Wow only 100BASE T Ethernet,
Wouldn't it be better to have Gigabit ethernet for good streaming?
Exactly - sound freaks prefer a straight optical link rather than going the TV.
