Apple TV – Did you buy one?

The [new] Apple TV reviews are out. And it seems to be something of a mixed bag. No, Apple TV hasn’t redefined television here and there isn’t much that sets it apart from a Roku or Fire TV. However, the hardware and presentation seem much more polished than the competition – despite some notable inconsistencies (Siri). The lack of 4k isn’t necessarily a huge deal at this point … unless you consider Apple TV is 50-100% more expensive than Amazon’s $100 streamer, with 4k. The biggest initial ding is on the content front, as it’ll take some time for developers to retrofit their experiences (or create new ones) for the 10′ interface of tvOS. I’m sure I’ll pick an Apple TV up at some point. But probably not this month. You?
