AppleTV
I know it's early on specs but does anyone know if the new model supports:
- DTS Sound for 1080P movies.
I've ripped my Blu-Ray's with multiple tracks, the first being stereo for iDevices as iOS defaults to that track and the rest DTS in mkv. My Pioneer AVR supports everything, but the only way to play DTS is through a jailbroken AppleTV with third party plugins. The latest Handbrake now supports DTS in m4v containers which may solve the next issue...
- File Formats
Currently only mp4, m4v, et all are supported leaving mkv out (doubtful it will be supported). Easy resolution would be to remux my mkv's as DTS sound can be used in m4v containers.
- Bluetooth 4.0? Support for external media servers?
My current setup includes a jailbroken first gen with a Crystal HD card for 1080P and a second gen, both jailbroken and running XBMC for 1080P movies and access to my media server(s). If this new model can replace all that, I'm sold.

It's not Quad Core. They are misleading the public somewhat. It's a dual core CPU with four graphics cores. Notice that they never trumped the fact that iPad (and iPhone) had two graphic cores. It's still good though - the graphics will be faster.
Yea but they usually use that before any product announcements and after business numbers. Tim's switched it up
So they continue with this Retina BS
They say it's retina at 15" Only people with really long arms can hold it that far. "Normal" people would have to fully stretch their arms. Maybe OK for 15 minutes of watching something but try playing Angry Birds with fully stretched arms

Sounds that way - chances are it'll have the same performance as the iPad 2, but at a much higher resolution.

I don't know how short your arms are, but I don't think I have ever held my iPad closer than 15". 15" is a lot closer than you think it is.
