Default Apple Announces New AppleTV

http://www.tuaw.com/2010/09/01/new-...oint-streaming/

"It's billed as 'One More Hobby.' It hasn't been a big hit, but those who used the Apple TV have shown affection for the device and provided Apple with valued feedback. Apple took this feedback and retooled the Apple TV into a smaller form-factor that clocks in at 1/4th the size of its first-generation sibling."

Honestly, I was happier to see a new AppleTV than I was to see new iPods.  The fact that Apple was able to reach the $99 price point is amazing.  While I'd wish it had the ability to add apps for increased functionality, I was happy to see that Netflix was added.  There aren't many of us who own AppleTVs, but we tend to be loyal to our little boxes.  The lack of any storage means you can only rent streaming content on the new device, but you can stream any iTunes content on your computer to the new AppleTV as well.  The AppleTV is available for pre-order now.  Is anybody else as excited about this as I am?
