I'm getting more tempted with this device. It's certainly easier than hooking up a Mac Mini as a HTPC but it's half the price of a Mini!

i was a fan to of this apple tv until i found out it does not play divx

better off by buying the sarotech 570hd or the mivx MX-760HD

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....

Doubt it but.... you never know.

Am attending a work-related meeting in Washington. Will be flying KL-Stokhom-NewYork-Washington. Will probably take a day in New York to do the usual tourist thing.

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 biggrin.gif

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...

well, I have no need for OSX86. Neither I want to waste time in experimenting copatible parts & patches. but it's glad that we have someone that's contributing to worldwide projects, instead of plain leeching. laugh.gif

the price is RM1299 only
i sold 1 to a customer on 31/3/07 ady

Guys, for your information, Apple tv was here for few days ady...
The price is RM1299, and it doesn't come with any HDMI, Analog components cable.

Things inside Apple TV are:
- The unit
- Apple Remote
- AC cable


for those staying in northern region, you can go to Gurney plaza to have a view. I mean we have demo with a LCD TV
Switch @ Queesbay Mall will set it up by Monday or Tuesday!
Spend your time here! Cheer!
