Dado que mi ingles es nulo y no me resisto a dar mi opinión ,ruego que alguien pueda traducir mas o menos mi post :D .
Soy poseedor de un appletv de la generación anterior y vivo en España lo que supone no poder sacarle todo el partido que tiene este aparatito . El nuevo appletv es un paso atras respecto al anterior en muchos aspectos . Es un cambio de plataforma , pasa de ser un ordenador completo trabajando con un S.O. Tiger recortado artificialmente a ser un "Ipad" sin pantalla .
Este cambio implica limitaciones en todos los niveles ,sobre todo a nivel de programación . Con el viejo appletv se podría sin excesivo problema correr programas realizados en Fivemac por ejemplo . En el nuevo appletv solo se podrá comprar ...
Todo lo que se vende como novedad en este nuevo appletv ya existía en el viejo , bien de fabrica , bien mediante añadidos .
Por otro lado tampoco se ha exprimido a 100% las posiblidades del nuevo aparato que podría venderse como churros solo con que dejaran instalar juegos ...jugaría en la misma liga que una wii o una xbox .
Saludos.

Manuel,

I fully agree with you :-)

This is Manuel's post in english:
I own an AppleTV from the previous generation and I live in Spain which means that we can't have all its potential. The new AppleTV is a step backwards from the previous model in many aspects. The used operating system has been changed, from a previous complete computer using a Tiger OS, artifitially limited, to be now an ipad without a screen. The change means limitations in all levels, specially for the programming level. With the previous AppleTV we could run applications developed with FiveMac easily. With the new AppleTV we can just "buy"... All that is announced as a new feature on this new AppleTV was already available on the old one, as a standard or with addons. Also, the 100% potential of this new model is not used that could be sold as a games console if Apple would allow to install games on it, so it could compete with the wii and the xbox
