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
