This is something that you will want to read if you are thinking of getting an Apple TV.  Engadget did a nice job with this review … I think you will enjoy it and BTW, if you do get that Apple TV, I think you will enjoy it too!

In a day where everyone (including us) expects their gadgets to do everything, Apple again bucks the trend and releases a product that does a few things, but tries to do them very well. From day one the Apple TV wasn’t expected to be the right for everyone — especially not many of the gadgetrati that patronize our fine publication. It does have a specific target audience (namely, those happy to live in the iTunes ecosystem), but will it be the gateway device to bring digital video to the living room?

In the conclusion of the review, they say in part:

… this is a mass market device intended to have mass market appeal, and while some will balk at the limited codec support and walled-garden approach, people who live in iTunes will enjoy the simplicity of just plugging it in and never having to fuss with anything. It’s hard to deny the fact that the interface is slick and simple enough that anyone — and we do mean anyone – should be able to use it with ease.
