not a must-have, but very neat gadget
there are 3 things that i really like the atv for, watching video podcasts, photos and movie trailers. i personally like to watch a wide variety of international news video podcasts. and while i could simply watch them on my computer, having access to them in my living room on a big tv adds a whole new dimension to it (even though video quality is poor with most podcasts at the moment). watching family photos with a bunch of relatives and friends is also a whole lot better this way than crowding around a monitor in my office.only gripe: apple is getting stingy on cables. the cheapest way to get your hdmi or component cable is on ebay. got a hdmi to dvi cable for under $9 including shipping!!
