I like Apple TV, I think its a great addition to the Apple family. I noticed that one thing is for certain, if a person does not buy TV shows or movies on itunes, Apple TV does not attract them. However, if you're like me, who purchases video content all the time, you'll appreciate Apple TV quite a bit!

Ha - based on this video, I'd avoid this guy's research.

Recently, it seems that "expert analysts" seem to be able to be about as correct as the local weather forecasters (and yet remain analysts).

Why is it that they even have a pedestal to stand on after being so horribly shortsighted and incorrect so often?

For the record I don't have an Apple TV, but should rentals become available I would snap one up in a heartbeat.

Swann also called Apple's video iPod a "bust" and predicted it will fail.

Hey Swanni, I just watched you put your foot in your mouth (again) while streaming this video to my 52" TV via TV, with its built in YouTube channel.

I got a head's up for you Swanni... the TV doesn't "stream from the internet" as you say, it streams from your home's LAN. It does not rely solely on content from the internet. Internet content is just gravy, and not necessary, outside of the occasional giggle from YouTube which has its own channel on TV's GUI, Front Row.

Why should we give you any credence when you're the one who said the video iPod was going to be a bust?

will you eat crow when the time comes? or forget you ever said anything? did you ever eat crow for the video ipod?
