The only positive thing about all this is that Apple will now consider giving the market what it wants (DIVx, 5.1 audio, larger HD etc..).

I just hope XBMC ports their project to Apple TV and Apple OS goes the way of the dodo.

Please XBMC team, can you port your beautifull OS /app on Apple TV?]]>Mar 26th 2007 6:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/Mar 26th 2007 6:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/Mar 26th 2007 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/Mar 26th 2007 6:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/Mar 26th 2007 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/Mar 26th 2007 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/Mar 26th 2007 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/

I could see how if you owned a Mac, you might consider buying an AppleTV, but it truly is a terrible product. It requires a widescreen hdtv (unless you have one of the 3 people who own component 4:3 tvs), and the only content that makes sense to watch on it is video content made to watch on your iPod (podcasts, itunes videos ect.), which are inherently low res. Its not just that the 360 has the same capabilities as the AppleTV, its that it has SO much more, integrating with an MCE/Vista box for DVR, DVD/HDDVD drive for movie watching, 360 gaming, Movie download service. The AppleTV is nothing more then an expensive wireless dongle for people with a Mac, and a lot of ipod video to watch.

We can all pray for the XBMC crew to unlock the power of the XNA platform, but you definately don't need XBMC to unlock the full potential of your 360 : http://www.microsoftisawesome.com/2007/03/using-your-xbox-360-as-media-hub.html]]>Mar 26th 2007 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/
Are you hoping for what I think you are hoping for?
that the XBMC team rip apart AppleTV and port XBMC to it?

Now that would be nice, and would definitely open
up the box to be used with other than Apple applications!

At least that's the impression I got from the article.
If i'm wrong, so be it..]]>Mar 26th 2007 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/
You reckon they are biased in the topics they choose? These people know what people want to read. That's why this is a popular site. That's why you're here.

You reckon they're biased towards/against some products? Well maybe there are good reasons.

And finally, can everyone PLEASE stop with the "You're a fanboy", "No I'm not - your a fanboy" schoolyard crap. It's driving me freakin' insane!

Arrgggghhhh!]]>Mar 26th 2007 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/
I'm admit that I'm an Apple Fanboy, but I like Windows XP. I like the xbox, wii and PS3. Not sure why people feel they have to side with one platform or another or bash someone for liking a specific platform. What's the point of doing that? It just makes people look immature and jealous.

They're inanimate objects and add little value to who you are as a person. There' no reason to get overly exited over who loves one product or another. It's best to be objective and judge a product by it's merits. I think engadet does a good job of this.

look up the definition of "eminent". one use of it is " conspicuous, signal, or noteworthy: eminent fairness." I believe Thomas' use is correct. in fact, your use would seem to imply that it will soon be hackable, when the link in this post shows that it already IS hackable . . .]]>Mar 26th 2007 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/Mar 26th 2007 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/26/apple-tv-os-loosed-into-the-wilds/
What I wanna see in a hack is full-blown 1080i/p support. That may be a hardware limitation though. To me this is a deal killer for the stupid thing.

the XBMC developers donate their time and source code, and for this, XBMC is still the best media centre program out there.

there are a lot of possibilities here.]]>Mar 29th 2007 5:26PM
