It was watching movies on computers, then laptops. Then, we projected the movies on a standard vga projector. Later we extended the laptop screen to a TV screen with the help of S-Video cable. Recently, DVI / HDMI cables took to the forefront.
Then came the Apple TV to cater an increasing number HDTV audience. Apple TV ignored the old standard Television set users.
The best thing about an Apple TV is that it can work very well with other apple products
Excerpts from NYTimes:
Apple TV also syncs movies and TV shows with video-capable iPods, which means you can start watching a movie on the train ride home, pause for dinner, then resume on the living room HDTV, right where you left off.Now, its time for another revolution: vudu. Vudu is a device that plans to avoid the intermediate computer or cable device. We will have to watch how successful this device would be.
Excerpts from NYTimes:
The company promises ... to offer 5,000 movies to watch directly on the TV without a PC, cable or satellite box. It says it has closed deals with seven major motion picture studios. The catch? Yet another appliance in your home. The Vudu device is expected to go on sale this summer, but no price has been announced.
