<p>Apple TV Coming to Your Living Room</p>
<p>Movies, TV Shows, Music & Photos on Your Big Screen TV</p>
<p>MACWORLD SAN FRANCISCO--January 9, 2007--Apple today premiered Apple TV, an<br />
easy to use and fun way to wirelessly play all your favorite iTunes content<br />
from your Mac or PC on your widescreen TV, including movies, TV shows,<br />
music, photos and podcasts. Using Apple TV's stunning new interface, anyone<br />
can quickly browse and view their entire collection of digital media from<br />
across the room using the simple and intuitive Apple Remote. Apple TV<br />
easily connects to almost all modern widescreen televisions, and will be<br />
shipping in February for just $299.</p>
<p>"Apple TV is like a DVD player for the 21st century--you connect it to your<br />
entertainment system just like a DVD player, but it plays digital content<br />
you get from the Internet rather than DVDs you get from a physical store,"<br />
said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Apple TV plays the same iTunes content that<br />
users enjoy on their computers and iPods, so now they can even watch part<br />
of a movie in their living room, and watch the rest later on their iPod."</p>
<p>Apple TV has a 40GB hard drive to store up to 50 hours of video, 9,000<br />
songs, 25,000 photos or a combination of each and is capable of delivering<br />
high-definition 720p output.* Apple TV is easy to connect to a broad range<br />
of widescreen TVs and home theater systems and comes standard with HDMI,<br />
component video, analog and optical audio ports. Using high-speed AirPort<br />
802.11** wireless networking, Apple TV can auto-sync content from one<br />
computer or stream content from up to five additional computers right to<br />
your TV without any wires.***</p>
<p>The seamless integration of Apple TV and iTunes lets users choose from over<br />
250 feature-length movies and 350 TV shows in near DVD quality; four<br />
million songs, 5,000 music videos, 100,000 podcasts and 20,000 audiobooks.<br />
Users can enjoy their favorite music on a home entertainment system and<br />
view slideshows of their photo albums on a widescreen TV. Apple TV makes it<br />
easy for users to explore their entire media collection with an easy to use<br />
and intuitive new interface. With the Apple Remote, consumers can easily<br />
browse through their favorite movies, TV shows, music and photos from up to<br />
30 feet away.</p>
<p>Pricing & Availability</p>
<p>Apple TV, which includes the Apple Remote, will be shipping in February<br />

II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh.<br />

award-winning desktop and notebook computers, OS X operating system, and<br />
