Hey buddies. I am here and today blogging about the Apple Tv. My daddy bought it and yes it is very amazing. Its size is very small. The matte black box clocks in at just 3.9 inches square, stands just 0.9 inches off of your table of choice, and weighs a measly 0.6 pounds.Around the back there is an Ethernet port, micro USB jack (for “service and support” ), an HDMI port, an optical audio hook-up, and a spot for the power cable.The Apple Tv has no need for external power bricks. Inside, the exact specs are unknown, but the ATV is powered by the A4 CPU, the same chip that powers the iPhone 4, iPad, and new iPod touch.The processor is clocked to 1GHz. It won’t have more than 512MB of RAM.Apart from the wired internet, the Apple TV also has WiFi (802.11a/b/g/n).There’s certainly enough power here to handle HD video (of the 720p variety, of course), graphically rich slideshows, and a few other visual perks. It comes with a remote which is made up of Aluminum.The slim accessory is short on buttons (a menu key, play / pause key, and four way rocker with center button), and long on style.If you’re an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch owner, you have a better option, luckily because there is remote app that allows you to control the Apple TV via a touch surface and virtual buttons — but in this arrangement you get a proper onscreen keyboard as well. The interface is not that new.When you first switch the box on you’re asked for a choice of network and prompted for a password (if you have one).Beyond that, you’re asked to enter your iTunes account name and password, and if you’re a Netflix user, you have to enter that data too. You don’t have to go to the site’s activation page to get your account playing nice with the Apple TV.You can also set up multiple laptops or home computers on your home sharing network to stream to the TV, allowing for quick access to video, photos, and music you’ve got stored on your Mac or PC.There are a few other perks, like YouTube, the ability to flip through photos (which actually is kind of great if you’re using the Remote app), and internet radio. I saw my daddy using this. It looks cool and YouTube also works perfectly on it. Well that’s all about it. Until then See ya! 😀
