Revamped Apple TV to get iOS 4 and apps, but no 1080p
Internally, the box is supposed to be comparable to the hardware found in an iPhone 4, complete with an A4 processor and 16GB of flash storage on board. Apparently the new iTV won't be getting 1080p or 1080p video support after all, as previously expected, but it will continue to output 720p video, which matches the current capabilities of iTunes. It will also get new iTunes streaming services services and access to the App Store, though it's unclear if it will be able to run existing iPad and iPhone apps.
Engadget says we can expect an announcement sometime this Fall. The refreshed box will reportedly hit the market later this year at an aggressive $99 price point, which is considerably less than $229 Apple is currently charging.

1080"i" or "i"1080 You Make the Call....... Since this is Apple we're talking about, wouldn't they at least have 1080 > "i" <. Or would they call it " i1080", to avoid paying royalties...? |

1080p isn't important because Steve Jobs says so... until the next version of iTV supports 1080p, wherein Jobs will say that anything less than 1080p is inferior. |

Streaming 1080p over the internet would look horrible anyway, so it's not a huge loss. |
