For this week’s Technologizer column for TIME.com, I wrote about the new generation of Internet TV boxes, including Roku, Apple TV, Google TV, and the Boxee Box. As I say in the story, I love the idea of canceling my cable-TV service and depending on one of these gizmos to do my consuming of episodic [...]
The Apple TV was never something I found interesting. I didn’t really see the point of shelling out over $200 for something that Apple repeatedly said was just a ‘hobby’. I’ve only had a few hours with the new Apple TV and I must admit that it’s piqued my interest.
Internet-to-TV video service, Boxee, has been available as a free software download for a while now, but the company has been working with hardware partner D-Link on a dedicated hardware box for the better part of a year.
Apple just announced three new iPod models—shuffle, nano, and touch—as well as a totally redesigned and less expensive version of Apple TV. Here’s a look at the products along with some buying advice for each one.

We’ve heard this before, haven’t we?
NewTeeVee has apparently been tipped off by “sources” that Apple will not only release a new Apple TV but that streaming TV show rentals are also on the way. Apple’s waning interest in one of its own products that Steve Jobs calls a “hobby” for the company could be turning itself around to compete with [...]
Engadget has received a tip “which has been confirmed by a source very close to Apple” that appears to suggest Apple hasn’t given up on AppleTV just yet.
