PC Magazine compares the three top internet television devices currently available, the $99 AppleTV box, the $99 Roku XDS box and the new Logitech Google TV box.
If you’re more of an iTunes person, you’ll gravitate to Apple TV, says PCMag. It streams all of your content from your PC’s iTunes library, as well as content from your iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad). Roku XDS lacks streaming from your PC without downloading a third-party app, but it’s far cheaper than the $300 Google TV, and the same price as the $99 Apple TV, but with the freedom of living outside the iTunes ecosystem.
Netflix is on all three devices. Keep in mind, however, that new Google TV products from Sony, as well as the D-Link Boxee Box, are coming soon.
Boxee Box, the on-demand setop tv box, is ditching NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 for Intel’s CE4100, reports Engadget. But its price has been boosted to $229 (on Amazon). AnandTech has a full review. The Boxee Box is already up for pre-order on Amazon and should ship before the end of November.
In other news, YouTube’s rolling out their new live streaming platform. Here are the five shows actually worth your time, according to Gizmodo.
