I know Apple's media event earlier this week was pretty much just about the iPad 3 (I know that isn't the official name but I don't care). I was initially anxious for new iPad 3 news but I don't really think it offers that much of an upgrade for current iPad 2 owners. Yes, the display looks nice and the camera needed a boost but the SoC is still the same A5 chip just with two added graphical cores (it is still a dual-core CPU).
Anyway, I was excited to hear about the Apple TV update. It will be using only a single-core A5 SoC but Apple finally gave it 1080p output and a menu that is a lot better than the previous version (I updated my Apple TV almost instantly after the keynote). Am I the only one excited that Apple gave some attention to their little "hobby" device and upgraded it to match other devices by adding 1080p support?
Now my only issue is that there aren't nearly enough apps for it. Netflix is nice but Apple really needs to put Hulu Plus and HBO Go on there. The additions of those two apps (I would be fine with still only 720p Hulu Plus and Netflix support, I think HBO Go is max 480p) along with 1080p streaming from the iTunes Store and 1080p capabilities from my iPad 2 (along with the iPhone 4S and iPad 3) really make it a nice upgrade.
