It's certainly easier than hooking up a Mac Mini as a HTPC but it's half the price of a Mini!hope this could give us some idea on how to set up the Apple TV ( even we still waiting the advent of this device)  |

True but I guess it would be cheaper for me to get an RGB to component video cable for my Mac Mini. It already plays Divx without problems, comes with a remote, wifi, etc.
But thanks for the info. I was looking at the Netgear and it's expensive! |

I don't understand the tax laws involved here. The iPods are taxed as entertainment devices as well if I recall, so the most expensive iPod is ~RM1499 for a US$350 product.
So what's up with the RM2999 price? |

heheheh... the RM2999 price is just an estimate...
conversion from SG price + 45% tax also is less than RM2000. |

The only reason I'd want to get one of these is to watch TV/Movies bought off the iTunes Store on my Bravia V40". However since the downloaded content I primarily seem to watch now consist of .avi sourced from torrents, the AppleTV is not going to be very useful.
Especially since I have a ShuttleXPC running WindowsXP and connected to the home network connected to the Bravia. That much said, I'm going to be in New York/Washington in early May and will certainly get a top-up of my iTunes account whilst I'm there. Might make sense to pick up a AppleTV box too.... |

Hm... ok I'm doing a work related thing in New York. Enjoy your stay in New York. Don't forget the 5th Ave Apple Store, J&R, B&H (if you're into photography), the good sushi places (again if you're into it), the Ferrari store with the gorgeous sales ladies, the DaimlerChrysler showroom next to it with the SLR...
Lots to see, a day is not enough |

when it's "officially" released in malaysia... but things seem to take soooooo long to get here. might just get it from Singapore. About RM1120 (SGD488) is not too big a dent...
