The update on Apple TV

Right now the Apple TV is depending on the OS and costs around $ 230.
Apple TV vs. Google TV
Apple TV and Google are playing a high stakes game. The winner will take the lead in a historical transformation of technology reports the Los Angeles Times. Nearly 40 percent of consumers said they wanted to connect their computers to their televisions to watch all of their online videos, according to a recent survey by Frank N. Magid Associates. The Times quotes Jim Lanzone, chief executive of Clicker.com, as saying:
"A generation from now, people simply won't believe how limited the world of linear programming was, the same way people under 30 today can't relate to 12 channels and a knob."

Apple TV's new set-top box may have much of the functionality found on the Apple iPhone. Inside, it's got the A4 processor that powers its computers, along with 16GB of flash storage. Engadget says there will be a Time Capsule option for external storage, but the primary purpose of Apple TV is all about streaming. A lot more cloud depending storage is the focus of Apple. According to Engadget, there was no information on whether the new device would support Apple’s App Store and apps, but given the runaway success of both, that feature could possibly be assumed.
