Jobs Announces Apple TV

Speaking at Macworld Expo, Apple CEO Steve Jobs today announced the company?s new Apple TV.

Initially introduced in September with the code name ?iTV,? Apple TV allows consumers to watch content from the iTunes on a television, bridging the gap between the computer and home entertainment system.

Apple TV sports connections for USB 2, Ethernet, HDMI, component, and optical connections, as well as support for Wi-Fi standards 802.11 b, g, and n, allowing users to wirelessly stream content from Macs to a TV.

The Apple TV also features a 40GB hard drive, an Intel processor and 720p HD video resolution. Apple TV will automatically sync content from one machine, and can stream content from up to five computers.

It also can access and control music and photo libraries. Jobs says Apple TV will be available in February for $299.

This is a good product, bot any true "media center" has to have gaming capabilities, reason for which I believe that Nintendo, xbox, and paystation ore in the end better options.
