For $300 smacks it looks like a neat little toy. I would love to be able to access my music through my home network and enjoy it in my living room. I think I will visit a Apple store to check out the video quality. They claim 1080i resolution is possible. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif
