I purchased this Apple TV because I wanted a way to play all of my digital copies in iTunes on my TV. All you need is this box, a TV with HDMI, and computer running iTunes with Home Sharing enabled (no extra charge). Works great for my 2 year old son who wants to watch Nemo.... wait, Cars.... wait, Toy Story.... wait, Nemo.... with the click of a button I can switch to what ever movie I/he wants quickly. I really like the iPad/iPod touch/iPhone integration as well. I was on my iPAD and found a youtube video I wanted my wife to see, with the push of a button it was on the TV and streaming. You can also mirror your screen on to the TV screen for presentations and such. The Apple TV also has photo stream so I was able to show my family pictures from our recent trip as soon as I got back. No downloading photos or transferring them to a DVD, it was already there. Play your music, your movies, your TV shows, and just about anything else you have purchase or acquired and have in iTunes for no extra charge. You wont have to buy the HDMI adapter for your other apple products to show things on TV, because this lets you do it wirelessly. Every time someone comes to my house and sees my setup, they go home and buy one. I had to buy another one for my bedroom, we can watch 2 different movies at once now, and my PC is an old Pentium with 4GB of ram, but it handles the streaming to these devices just fine.
What's great about it: iTunes home sharing, iPAD/iPhone/iPod Touch mirroring, movie purchasing, small foot print
I would recommend this to a friend!
