Apple took some major steps away from the Personal Computer company it was founded as. Sure they had the Newton and now the iPod. Today Apple Showed off its 2 newest comsumer products, the AppleTV and the iPhone. To solidify the change Apple has even droped the 'computers' part of their name, and will know be known as Apple Inc.

So what is AppleTV? As demo's its a home theater device that will play nicely with your television, projector, stereo and Macs. Its designed to be the missing piece. To bring your digital content into your family room.

This device automatically synchronizes with your iTunes library much like your video iPod does. Equiped with a 40GB internal hard drive, TV Shows, Movies, Music, and Photos are syched. If the 40GB isn't enought, AppleTV also has the ability to access shared movies and photos, through the network. A newly designed FrontRow like interface revolves covers of Movies, CD Art work, Photos on the 720i HDMI/Component Out. An Apple IR Remote takes control of the device.

AppleTV has the same footprint as the MacMini, but at about half the height. HDMI or Component Video ports allow you to display the video on a variety of devices. Optical Audio out guarantees the best audio quality to your reciever. An Airport and Network Jack allows AppleTV to jump onto any local network for sharing and internet trailers. Then there is the mysterious USB Port. Initial thoughts are that this would be for external storage, but Apple tech indicate its a service port. I figure its a matter of time before that gets hacked.
