That was my first thought, but he specifically said it should be something with its own display. I understand his desire for this; no sense in burning text into one's plasma TV just to play some MP3s.
Right, but the suggestion was to use an Ipod Touch as the Apple TV's display, turning it into a sort of Sonos or Squeezebox Duet proposition. Which isn't quite the same thing, but might actually not be too bad. The Apple TV still has a winchester, though (but not a fan?) and in fact doesn't have any outputs compatible with my TV -- but I do count that as my TV's fault rather than Apple's, as, despite being sold as "HD ready", the only input on which it'll actually do any better than standard def is a VGA connector.
