EXCLUSIVE Apple TV Review: Hands on With Steve Jobs' New Hobby

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/09/28/apple-tv-review-hands-on-steve-jobs-hobby//

This is an article and video that was on one of my RSS feeds that I thought was interesting. It was the first time that I had heard of Apple TV. I am familiar with the iPod, iPad, iTunes, and iPhone, but this technology was new to me. I learned that the original Apple TV came out in 2007 for $300. The newest edition, however, is only $99 and works with Netflix and iTunes. You can instantly rent movies from Netflix and iTunes (as well as TV shows). In addition, you can access YouTube, Flickr, and Podcasts. I also thought the new Airplay feature was interesting. If you are watching a movie on an iPod in the car, when you get home you can hit the Airplay Button and continue watching that same movie on your Apple TV. This feature also works for music. Overall, I found this article to be pretty interesting because it shows how this new technology allows users to intertwine the uses of different Apple devices on their home TV. I highly recommend reading the article or watching the video about Apple TV.
