What an ingenius device!, November 6, 2011

This review is from: Apple TV MC572LL/A (2010) (Electronics)
Had this device for a couple days now, and I think it's a great add-on to any home theatre system, but only worth it on one condition: that you are pretty well-verse with the Apple ecosystem and have at least one iOS device and know your way around iTunes. As a stand-alone streaming product, it's okay, as you can get access to Neflix (of which I cancelled), Flickr and a very modest array of other streaming content (that is pretty limited in my opinion), but where it shines is if you have another iDevice such as an iPhone or iPad. With the addition of AirPlay and using your device to control your Apple TV, it makes the product 20 times better and more useable. So far, I can stream content that's not baked into Apple TV software from my iPhone, such as Pandora, iheartradio and VEVO, just to name a few, and I'm sure there's tons more 3rd party apps that have or will have built-in AirPlay features. Besides that, you can stream anything from your iTunes on your computer, content loaded in your iDevice wirelessly to the ATV.
