I agree.

Imagine Apple TV with Safari and an App Store.

I'm quite pleased with my $99 Apple TV.

I'd read on the net that if one's ISP goes down/connection lost you'll need to reenter all IDs, passwords, etc. for the ATV. Not so, our ISP was out here for about 24 hours; when it came back on, our ATV was fine, no input of our data needed.

Regarding the remote, I soon learned to use the Remote App from Apple I've installed on my iPod Touch. Much better than the one that came with the unit, IMO.

Netflix movies at 720P are quite good enough+. No complaints.

There are some good video podcasts available, too. Check out "iPad Today" and "This Week in Tech."

It will take a while to explore all that's available. But, nevertheless, I do look forward to additions to ATV down the road. . .
