AppleTV Hits the Streets

Posted by samzenpus on from the apple-toaster-available-soon dept.

Stories are starting to pop up all over the web about the AppleTV, which evidently means that Apple has set loose the hounds of marketing and the units are (or will be tomorrow) available in Apple stores. Still no word on whether or not it plays DivX files. That will be the key to me purchasing one.

    I think they also own ABC.

    > The .mp4 container format is the video equivalent of ODF While I also would like AVI to go for good this comment needs clarification: .mkv/Matroska ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska ) would be the equivalent to ODF, not .mp4 - the latter one is a proprietary Apple format again, even though it was standardized. And .mkv is already widely in use, if only for High Definition and Anime content.
