Yea, good point.  Why the hell would anyone buy an AppleTV?

I don't know, but it will probably use iOS, so lots of iDevice owners will get them because they may want to own a TV with a familiar interface. Besides, it will probably be able to connect to iDevices wirelessly, so people could view photos, apps etc. on their TV screens using their iDevice as a controller which might draw people in too

Yea, I read up a little on AppleTV.  It actually is a decent price which is a little surprising ($99).  It doesn't look more than a souped up Roku box though to me.  I can see why someone with itunes and a big Apple fan might purchase it.  If you don't have itunes then I don't see any incentive to get it.   Are you talking about the AppleTV box or an Apple TV which they are rumored to be working on?

I thought we were talking about this
