Jobs Unveils Apple TV

By Steve Donohue -- Multichannel News, 1/9/2007 6:31:00 PM

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.
