First impressions - new Apple TV

Wow. Some change. Buying, syncing and local storage are out, renting and streaming are in. That's a pretty radical turnaround and, to be honest, I'm not yet sure that it works for me and the way I currently manage my media. I quite like having it all synced across for immediate access so moving to a streamed model will be a bit of a change; do I want to leave my desktop running just so that I can listen to music or watch a movie?

The answer is no, not really, but it isn't really a major inconvenience to turn on the PC if I want to consume local media and, if the new Apple TV works as well as advertised with iPads and iPhones, then it probably isn't a big issue. So the long and the short of it is that I still plan to buy a new Apple TV when they are available and I'll just have to change the way things are organised. I might even buy a Mac Mini to act as local media storage. More comment once they've been launched.
