The major market isn't really ready for it, but it still had to be put out there. People don't like the idea of buying a movie for $14.99 to only play on their iPod or computer. They like knowing they "could" play it on an Apple TV one day. I picked up my ATV in Jan 08 and haven't looked back. The thing is great. Ended up selling my Blu-ray player, as did my brother when he picked up one. Now that my parents have been around mine, they want one for Christmas!

Besides, it looks like Vizio is already coming out with an Apple-influenced model themselves....http://www.vizio.com/productDetails.aspx?id=2838&pid=1506 I’m as big an Apple fan as many, but I have to agree that there is no way they can keep up with the likes of Vizio, etc. with both price and performance.
