Got an AppleTV the other day and I'm really impressed with it, I'd kept an eye on them for a while but never took the leap because I've got a ps3 and it plays all my media anyway. I'm blown away with it, such a useful device!

Tried renting an HD (720p) film, the expendibles, worked really well. Good picture quality and surround sound, all worked as expected. Tried YouTube and what not but it was video podcasts that got me - that works really well, there's even some HD ones. Playing stuff off iTunes on the PC works as expected. It'll browse photos off the PC too which I didn't know about, as well as Flickr.

The bit that's got me is AirPlay though, from the iPad or iPhone, if you're listening to something or watching a vid on the net, there's an AirPlay button,press that and whatever you've got playing just appears on the telly. That is ace.

Old news I know but I'd never bothered before, it just looked a bit meh to me, but for £100 delivered, it's a cracking wee bit of kit.

They are down to £85 at Amazon now - I'm quite tempted to get one, but I only have an iPad 1 so I couldn't do the airplay mirroring yet which is one of the big draws for me.
