The editors didn't like

  • Limited rental content on iTunes
  • Home Sharing requires single iTunes account
  • Initial setup still requires tedious text input
  • Both a boon and a faux pas
  • The Siri Remote is the most loved/reviled aspect of Apple's new plastic. By building in a microphone and half-baked Siri support
  • The Apple TV takes some serious steps forward on its march to the living room throne. But simulta
  • No TV shows. Streaming only option creates major flaws
  • Limited content available via iTunes in the UK
  • Rentals are comparatively expensive
  • No local storage
  • Needs a Mac to be turned on and running iTunes to stream content
  • No online UK partner to match Netflix
  • Over-reliance on the Mac or PC
  • No 1080p HD
  • No hard disk for storing music or video
  • ITunes rentals in UK are more expensive than in the US
  • The new Apple TV doesn't currently offer the ability to rent and download TV programmes. This wouldn't be quite so bad if the feature wasn't offered on the previous generation Apple TV
  • Or across the pond where US users can download to their hearts content. Fingers crossed that Apple will fix this soon.
  • 160GB drive is paltry compared to other devices
  • Limited playback options (no DivX playback)
  • Remote is awkward to use Min specs
  • ITunes 7.1
  • Wireless network (wireless video streaming requires 802.11g or 802.11n) or Ethernet network
  • Mac
  • OS X v10.3.9 or...

  • Limited app options
  • Too closed for non-Apple users
  • No movie rentals

  • Abstract:  Da Apple TV udkom tidligere på året, holdt vi lidt fast i vores eget testeksemplar, og havde en længere korrespondance med Apple om funktionerne i produktet. Nu er version 2 så på gaden, og skønt vi godt ved at det er et par dage siden, så har vi a...

  • De Apple TV biedt een erg gebruiksvriendelijke connectie tussen de tv in de huiskamer en de computer en internet en verschillende Apple-apparaten. Films huren gaat makkelijk, de kwaliteit in 720p HD is goed. Het filmaanbod is redelijk beperkt en ni...

  • Abstract:  iPod Touch一直都是筆者通勤時消遣的好夥伴,在16GB的空間裡滿載著許多筆者喜愛的音樂,即使必須去通車2至3小時以上的地方,一路上還有日劇與電影可以娛樂。不過忙碌了一整天回到家中,想不戴耳機、舒適優閒地聽著音樂,通常會怎麼做?接上PC或MAC,打開iTunes透過外接的喇叭播放,或許是最簡單又原始的方法。當然也能購買外接式喇叭底座,不僅能播放音樂還能充電,也是不錯的選擇方案。或者,如果家中有不錯的音響可以使用,相信能比前述的解決方案提供更佳的音質效果。只是線材長度有限,每次聆聽時只放置於音響旁邊待...
