Surely they have missed the point...isnt it more sensible to make PC's more media friendly, then playing mp3's through your tv?

Not sure what you're talking about. Got a link?

I dunno. In my experience, PC monitors are a long way from the quality of a TV set.

But that depends on the monitor and TV being compared.

Although it will play music off your computer on your TV, the real reason they want you to buy this is so you can download films and TV shows off the iTunes website and then watch them on your TV.

There are other solutions available that aren't going to tie you down to a DRM crippled file format peddled by the only source that will work with the kit you've bought.

Apple won´t stop before everything can play mp3s. Phones, TVs, shoes, aquariums. There´s no escaping it.

'There are other solutions available...'

And, in a stunning own goal, they prevent you buying or renting files from outside the US, thereby encouraging people to download illegal Torrents.


(BSG S03E20 rocks BTW!)

Cool! I'd love to have a mp3 playing boots!

There are already mp3 playing lederhosen available. Which makes you wonder if they change the song being played all the time when you do the thigh slapping dance.
