Ahhh ... I was NOT really expecting this (so early) I'd of assumed Stevie would have had this sucker locked up tighter than tight... read as it woulda taken folks a month or longer to get the sucker doing things on it's own..
If development continue at this pase I'm gonna be forced to by into buying v1.0 of this hardware instead of waiting till the next hardware bump like I had resigned myself to...
Go hackers go....
Go hackers go....
Show me Apple TV playing MAME and a VIDEO_TS folder I'll put in an order for two this very night!
LOL - there are at least 10 guys in that thread that said they were "SO gonna get one of these..."
And I think they were the same ones saying it didn't do anything 5 minutes before that...
Yep.... while I'm not on the board I sure do fit into that category (**if**) the hackability and extendibility is as easy as it seems... This was something I was not expecting from Jobs and company and I don;t think anyone here would disagree too much with my initial line of speculation.
Now I'm **almost** wondering if at this years WWDC might actually bring forth a SDK for the sucker! Yea, I know... from one extreme to the other.... so sue me.
But could you imagine that...
Okay well I'll file that one back in the "I want an Apple tablet" file drawer where it rightfully belongs.

Apple TV runs Mac OS X 10.4.7 variant called "Apple TV OS" on a Dothan 1 gHz with nVidia GeForce 7300 Go.
They've been able to get FireFox running on it, and are working on adding Perian to it to play XVID.

judging from your poll, I don't think you'll be able to connect either one....
