Apple TV to be released within days
A revolutionary product from Apple soon to be released will be called the Apple TV, which allows consumers to watch downloaded TV content on their TV. Similar products have tried, but failed, mostly due to poor marketing. It is assumed that Apple will intend to prioritize its marketing for Apple TV.
The device is 7.7 x 7.7 x 1.1 inches, which is smaller than the conventional cable or satellite box. Apple TV has multiple TV outputs such as RCA composite and HDMI outlets for high definition viewing. It can put out a maximum of 720p HD resolution picture to your HDTV, and connects to the Internet wirelessly through 802.11n Wi-Fi as well as through an Ethernet cable to download your TV content.
There is a USB connection on the back of the device for future add-ons.
