Well, I don't own Apple stock (or any individual stocks for that matter).

You're right about the basic specs, but the Apple TV also lets you watch YouTube videos and podcasts. And Apple looks like its going to outpace Vudu as far as HD content. And Apple TVs aren't sold in mall kiosks like sunglasses.

You must have Apple stock to be so biased...

The $229 AppleTV has a 40GB HDD. They are charging $329 for the 160GB Apple TV. The VUDU has a 250GB for $295. Now, based on VUDU's tech I'm sure that's not all available for purchases, but I'm sure neither is Apple's box.

Come on, compare "apples to apples" man!
