The idea that 720p is "good enough" for a set-top media player released in late 2010 is preposterous. It looks to me like they crippled it to bring the price point down, driving sales up, and creating more demand for the 1080p version they'll release in six months or so. That's the only way I can see them competing with Boxee Box, Google TV and friends when they're on 1080p with a lot more content options.

I concur with the sentiment that all the iPods are nice, but as someone who's in the market to buy a HTPC type box in the near future, I was hoping for something decent from Apple, if only to put pressure on the Boxee Box and Google TV guys. This ain't it, and makes me wonder how they managed to screw up this product line yet again.
