New Toy: Apple TV

I recently came in possession of an Apple TV. After spending a bit of time with it, I must say I'm impressed, although it's not perfect. Setup was a very simple and it works as advertised. I have only one gripe with the device. Each machine from which you sync or stream media is treated as a separate "source". This means that if one has media living in multiple iTunes libraries on multiple machines, they must switch between these sources every time they wish to view media from their respective machines. This is not ideal, in my mind, and I can't see a reason for it. All content across all computers should be aggregated into a single selection. This would make the Apple TV much more usable, in my opinion. Of course, Steve has already hinted at software updates to the devices, so maybe it's still possible at some future point in time. All in all, however, the device is great. I would recommend it to anyone that keeps a fair amount of content in iTunes.
