| The Apple TV is designed to operate in conjunction with iTunes on a PC allowing users to browse and access their media library away from the computer using the included Apple remote control. Content can be synced from the PC onto the device's 40GB hard drive or can be streamed directly from up to five computers. ...Despite the close integration with iTunes, the Apple TV does not allow users to purchase content directly from the iTunes Store commented some industry watchers. Also some have pointed out that although the Apple TV supports content up to high-definition 720p standard (1280×720) on widescreen TVs, content currently available on the iTunes Store is intended to be viewed on the much smaller screen of the iPod Video and is only offered in low-resolution VGA (640×480) or even QVGA (320×240) format, leading to speculation that Apple may be planning to introduce high-definition content to the service. |
