Episode 302: Apple TV


I recently purchased the new generation Apple TV with Remote from Best Buy on Oahu for the office in Kauai.  I have to admit that I do like the simplicity of operating it but it does still feel limited to what it can do.  

I connected this little bugger to the 50" TV and while I'm working on my reports I can turn this gizmo on and stream from the internet JPOP radio 24/7.   On top of the ability to listen to streaming radio, I can also catch up on the news with the WSJ widget that is preinstalled.  I like the WSJ because it does have Asian business news which is my primary interest regarding business.  

The screen saver function that is built in this device is a neat thing to have because I don't want to burn any images into this TV and the images it has for the slides are really beautiful and professionally taken.  For example there is an option to select the National Geographic pictures for the screen saver.  You will feel like you are there watching the high res pictures appear on your HDTV.  

For any of my Duck peeps out there, I do give this 7.5 Duck Bills out of 10.  Until my next experiment Duckers, keep on Quacking and Ducking out there.
