Yup screw that you can get the DVD for the same or less, plus you get special features with most of the DVD's I buy.
The leak sounded believable until they mentioned the tubeport.
Totally superfluous piece of kit...you take video from your mac to your tv with a usb cable not the DVI connector?
You stream movies to your tv using tubeport? Why spend $99 on something that could be achieved with a DVI to HDMI cable? There are already DVI to component and s-video adapter cables on the Apple store.
Why bother with Front Row then?
I think this is made-up with guesses about whats going to happen and putting pricing similar to the Amazon movie store.
I don't get your point? With the laptops and the imac you can just watch your content directly on the screen. If you want to watch it on your tv, you connect your machine to your HD set using the DVI out on your macbook/macbook pro/mac mini/imac and you control the content using the apple remote and front row. (using an adapter if required)
Why would you need a tubeport? You are going to need to run cables for it as well.
If I was worried about cables, then I'd use Bwana's Airport Express with AirVideo™ !

BobJones : The TubePort and Airport Express with AirVideo is the same thing. And Airport Express with AirVideo was my trademark

11:18 am Get Ready, Get Set, Go! Apple's has been updated to reflect today's announcements.
11:16 am Aside from John Legend's performance, it appears as though the event is over.
11:15 am Engadget: So we'll see you all soon. Oh, we do have one more thing!
All this technology is amazing, but it all comes down to artists because otherwise we don't have anything to listen to or watch.
We like to remind ourselves of that. So today we have a great artist here to perform for us. his name is John Legend. He was nominated for 8 Grammy awards and won 3.
He's got a new album coming out next month called Once Again, so I would like it if you would please joing me in welcoming John Legend
[Legend appears at a full-size piano to sing an acoustic version of Save "Room"]
11:14 am MacCentral: Jobs closed the event with a live performance by Grammy-winning musician John Legend.

11:01 am iLounge: iTV lets you get access to trailers and itunes store selected content from internet
11:01 am MacCentral: The software features 3D animated graphics with a menu on the right and graphics on the left. Jobs demonstrated it, going into the Movies menu and scrolling through floating artwork on the left-hand side.
10:59 am iLounge: Video looks very close to DVD quality even on a huge theater sized projector
10:58 am iLounge: Video access is instantaneous, looks like watching a DVD
10:57 am Engadget: It looks like this {a flatter Mini} it's called iTV. That's a codeword. we need to come up with a better name.
10:57 am iLounge: Interface is like next gen front row
10:56 am iLounge: 1/2 size of Mac Mini, built-in power supply, USB, Ethernet, 802.11 "wireless component video", optical audio and HDMI ports, plus old RCA stereo audio ports. Works with Apple Remote
10:54 am iLounge: Like a Mac Mini... iTV is its name (not final).

10:51 am iLounge: Steve is wrapping up. Thanks to engineering and other departments.
