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?
