So I saw that Apple TV was released..., If I recall back in 94 they released Apple Interactive Television to a select market.. I have one of these units.. It was supposed to be video on demand and such.. The Apple Interactive Television box had a whopping 4MB of ram and a 68040 25MHZ Processor.. See how far they have come
Apple Interactive Television


The New Apple TV
..

So any thoughts on this.. perhaps this is a reincarnation of the once lost Apple Interactive Television...

Oddly enough when I get my Apple TV.. the new Apple TV will sit on top of the Apple Interactive Television protoype unit I have.. Old and new

I personally dont like how it will be crippled with itunes drm.

I have mce extenders and i can stream any type of video to my tv.
I dont think this is possible with apple tv.

Im just surprosed at the fact that nobody have mentioned at how apple ripped the idea of extenders.

If it would be the other way around microsoft would have been getting stoned right now.
