Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the wraps off of the company’s new Apple TV set-top Tuesday at the Macworld confab in San Francisco.
The device -- which connects to a TV like a DVD player -- allows users to wirelessly transfer music and video content stored on their PCs to the Apple TV box.
Priced at $299, Apple TV is set to go on sale in February through the Apple Store and through Apple retail outlets.
The device contains a 40-gigabyte hard drive that can store up to 50 hours of video, 9,000 songs, 25,000 photos, or a combination of each, Apple said. Apple TV can receive content wirelessly from up to five computers in a home, relying on 802.11 wireless networking.
Also Tuesday, Apple officially changed the name of its corporation from Apple Computer to Apple Inc.
