The Apple TV, is it worth buying?

     I know, I have not blogged very much, not for the last two weeks. That is because I did not come across anything interesting to share. Until know, the Apple TV 2nd Generation. Well, what is the Apple TV? It is a device you connect to your TV to play music, watch youtube, and things like that. You can connect to flickr, netflix, itunes, etc. In order to control it, you can use a remote or an apple product such as the iphone, ipod, or ipad. The design is based on the Mac OS X front row application which is very cool, allowing you to play movies, listen to music, view photos, and more. The remote is similar to the one that comes with it. The apple TV is not very expensive, at just $99. However, when I looked further into the apple TV, i realized that it is not worth buying. It is just like a device to use the front row application on your TV, consisting of things which you can rent. However, there is not enough content, and you cannot purchase any of the content you wish to view. It is basically just something to allow you to watch youtube and things like that on a bigger screen. Things like viewing photos and watching your own videos can already be done on most TVs, and you would not need the Apple TV. However, if your TV cannot do these functions, you should get the Apple TV since it has such a small pricetag. However, if you have a wii, xbox, or something else allowing you to watch Netflix instantly, you do not need this device.
