Thank you for the most complete Apple TV review I’ve seen.

I’ve blogged this on my site, http://appletvsource.com. Great article.

Thanks for the great 30 day report and follow up. My Apple TV will be here tomorrow, your daily posts have helped me get a good idea what to expect. Thanks again, can’t wait to get it all set up and running.

Thanks a million Michael for giving me a promise of an iPhone 30 Days Ownership Experience because I think that it will be another year till I get my hands on one here in the middle east (Egypt).

@Justus –

I don’t think there is a reason for you to buy on right now Justus. The only reason I could think of would be if you were REALLY into podcasts, and like you said, you can hook your Mac up to your TV to watch those if you wish.

@Wizard –

I didn’t tackle the USB port because there isn’t anything official you can do with it at this point. I’m not a hacker, or a hardware guy, and I didn’t (and don’t) feel comfortable playing around with the hacks that include the USB port.

If anything official becomes available for me to do with it (like plugging in external storage) you can bet that I’ll cover it.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you liked the series. You can expect another one when the iPhone gets here in June…

Michael. I would like to both congratulate you and thank you for your great -30 days – series. I liked it a lot. I am even sad that it’s over and I feel like I have just lost my -unpurchased- Apple TV.

Yes Michael. You really made me feel like I owned one and took me through that amazing journey of discovering a cool new gadget for the first time (exactly as if I owned it).

Sure you showed off your super living room with an XBox 360 and a Wii scattered all over it near the Apple TV, but that was cool.

Just one question here. Why didn’t you tackle the USB port in the Apple TV? This port raises a lot of questions in my head about its possible uses. So, I think you should have had it covered.

Again, congratulations and thank you for this great piece of Tech-Journalism.

I still have the feeling that you don’t really need the Apple TV because you can use also your computer with frontrow and if you want you can just have an extra cable so you can watch your computer on the television. And also because I live in Europe It’s not yet possible to buy movies and episodes through itunes. Can you give me your best reaszon why I should buy one, in my position.
At last but not least: thanks for this 30-day review it was really interesting.

I really enjoyed your 30-day journey with the AppleTV, and I think the first few days of it were what spurred me to go out and get one. I’m on Day 22 of my experience now, and I’ve been loving every minute of it. I’ve also become a big fan of a few clever video and audio podcasts, and I’m also enjoying my music collection more. I think I’ll still purchase selected boxed DVD sets for my very favorite shows and I’ll definitely buy most blockbuster movies on DVD, but I won’t pay for cable, and for everything else, this AppleTV is perfect, and does exactly what I’d hoped it would.

Thanks for your great series!

@Rick -

Glad you liked it. I hope it is helpful without being too redundant.
