Review: Apple's second-generation Apple TV (2010)
By Neil Hughes
October 4, 2010
The new, improved, $99 Apple TV is a step in the right direction for
the set-top box famously referred to as Apple's "hobby," but the
incremental upgrades it offers are, for now, just a tease of bigger
and better things to come for the platform.
Apple has long referred to the Apple TV as its hobby, because there
isn't a large market for home theater content devices like there are
for the other markets where Apple excels, such as personal computers
and smartphones. Before the new Apple TV was announced and rumors of
its switch to an A4 processor and iOS swirled, some expected the
device would represent a major change for the product.
As it stands right now, the out-of-the-box Apple TV experience is not
revolutionary, and remains held back by limited access to content and
the absence of still-to-come features like AirPlay.
But make no mistake, the new, second-generation Apple TV is better
than its predecessor in every single way. And in terms of ease of use
and cost, it's a product in a class of its own that will likely
continue Apple's sales superiority in the relatively small market.
