The way they word it makes me think you don't have the option of downloading HD onto the ipod, just the tv thingy.

To be fair, I'm more interested in Maps than Mail. But I always get lost...

Engadget has put 30 seconds.

I guess it must be true as he just rented something and started watching it.

Or the whole thing is a big show!

How long do these talks last? I feel like I've gone back 5 years hitting refresh every minute to find out what is happening...

Now I'm going to have to wait for them to hack the TV2 to get Divx working again....

I actually like what I see at this thing so far. Some cool diverse things (not earth shattering, but definitely cool).

However, that $20 upgrade is the rudest fucking thing I've heard since the original iPhone price. Fucking disgraceful to charge for apps that existed and they could've included in the original incarnation of the iTouch. Fucking fucked.

Ahem. That being said, if they come with the retail version as of now, I'll be buying one soon.

Edit: video + audio stream here. A bit shit though, it's not working for me at the moment: http://www.iphonealley.com/news/macworl ... deo-stream

New ATV is only $229 in the US (down from $299).

Hope that translate well here, but bet it doesn't...
