Apple digital receiver officially released

After a delay, the Apple TV, the digital receiver, which wirelessly transmits video clips, digital music, and podcasts stored on computers to TV screens, has also landed in the market.

This slender square device has an expected retail price of US $ 299, which has been promised to ship since late February. However, at the last minute, Apple only stated neatly that the release time would be a few weeks slower without giving any specific reason.

According to analysts, Apple TV marks the deepest drill into Apple 's home entertainment district, after it has been very successful with the axis model along the iPod - iTunes. They also stated that Apple TV's competitiveness is huge, between a forest of services or devices with similar functions.

However, it should be noted that Apple TV still has some limitations. It is only compatible with TV models that support HDMI cable or just launched. This will cause many old flat-screen TVs to be removed from the game.

Apple TV also allows users to access digital photos and home-grown video from their computers. It also allows watching trailers (short film commercials) from the Internet. However, you will not be able to access YouTube - the largest video sharing website today, as well as use any online video service that is competing with iTunes.

And despite owning a hard drive up to 40GB, unfortunately the Apple TV does not allow recording of live TV programs.

However, some experts still believe that Apple will promote Apple's growth opportunity. Evidence that the company's stock price on Nasdaq has increased by 2.6%, equivalent to 2.39 USD to 93.87 USD at the end of yesterday's session.
