I've long been an Apple TV user. Since the first version and I'm currently using a v2. I really wasn't sure about the newer style one at first, but as it was cheap I invested.
When Airplay appeared I saw the plan Apple had for the units but curiously it's potential remains incomplete.
Apple needs to open up the plugin/app market for ATV so that it's easier for other relevant providers to use the platform with protracted negotiations with Apple and all the (no doubt) pain that brings..
regarding Airplay… we use the ATV as another Airplay destination in our house along with a number of Airport express units.. Often for audio only sources.. WHY do Airplay not work with ATV unless you have your TV on or switched to the ATV's hdmi output at the time?? I know it provides a nice screensaver for your music but come on…. If your Airplay source is just audio let it stream it headless..
And while we're at it I'm pretty sure I read that ATV has a BT chip in already alongside the wifi… For pete's sake plz let us use it for a keyboard!!! Would make Youtube and many more apps so much more intuitive to use.
I think a little more focus needs to return to Apple…
End of line..
