Really your thought will be a great mainstream for those who are looking for Digital Signage. As it sounds very good though i would like to light it at the wall of my facebook.

In particular, you
would want a way to also do the 90 degree rotate for display of content for vertically
mounted HDTVs as kiosk displays. That is done directly in Mac Mini, but might not
be possible for for Apple TV.

If it can stream and play all of those downloable RMVB movie files, just like the XBox with XBMC does, but in HD resolution, there should be no doubt that this thing will become as hot as the initial introduction of the WII.

In addition to the (already in the works) USB externa hard-drive, I would love to see an external USB DVD drive.

Of course, a DVD drive would be great if one could also see a pluggin to play the DVD directly from AppleTV.

Another nice hack would be to run iTunes direcly on AppleTV, such that I could buy programs without having to go to my computer.

Just my 2 cents.

Yes you can use a remote, but for a car a touchscreen is best. Problem is, the touch screens are VGA… you can get HDMI to DVI, but not HDMI to VGA… correct me if i’m wrong please as i’d like to do this but will probably have to shell out for a mac mini.

The fact you can watch anything but iTunes sorced video is a bit crap as well. So far I am well unimpressed with AppleTV. What a useless piece of crap they are peddling. (Set-up was easy at least.)

I have a thread going here:

Lately, though, I feel that the AppleTV is not full featured enough for the car and the Mac Mini is where it’s at.
