I was just thinking tha yuesterday was exactly 2 weeks since Jobsy said it would be 2 weeks for the update. Don't suppose they mean it's been delayed by a few hours? I want HD rentals and I want them NOW!

Flickr has had open API's for about half an eternity now, why should they not work with the ATV unless Apple themself mess up the integration?]]>Jan 30th 2008 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/Jan 30th 2008 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/Jan 30th 2008 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/
Honestly though, a post that's just "Apple TV (take 2) update delayed - Just in from Apple, more as we get it"? Is this really post-worthy? I normally enjoy Engadget's Apple coverage, but really, this?]]>Jan 30th 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/Jan 30th 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/

They took my pre-order which said "Ship by Feb 28".
Then actually shipped a week or so into March.

It has worked flawlessly since I got it though, so no commplaints...still drooling for the latest and greatest software :)

I can understand downloading standard def movies for rent or buying standard def tv shows, but BUYING these super-compressed movies in "HD" is silly. Heck, even another $1 to rent in "HD" isn't worth it.

Anyone who thinks the masses want Download-To-Own movies is kidding themselves.

They don't hold a candle to Blu-ray and are barely as good as DVD. Oh, and they don't have any resale value either...

Mp3s sound okayish at 128 kbps. However if you use another form of compression, then it may sound worse at 256kbps.

By the way:
1) No need for posting that link three times in your two posts. We can read.
2) Do you happen to be Mike as in, Mike the Windows lover?]]>Jan 31st 2008 2:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/
1080i and 720p are the same.

HD is over used and used incorrectly. 480p is also HD.

But the rest of the info in your post is correct.]]>Jan 30th 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/apple-tv-take-2-update-delayed/
1080i has more raw pixels for greater clarity, but is only 30 frames per second (sort of; the "i" means interlaced.) 720p has fewer raw pixels, but the "P" means "Progressive Scan" which also means the screen is refreshed twice as fast, at 60 FPS, which would have less clarity but better detail for fast motion (preferable for sporting events, etc.)
