Second Generations Apple TV...Is It Better Then Just Having Netflix??

The internet movie and TV show rental business has become an extremely competitive market in recent years.  This is because people want higher resolution movies, while being convenient to get, and being user friendly in the process.  Recently apple engineers have developed a complete answer to consumers wants and needs, meet the second generation Apple TV...
     The sleek new apple TV has been redesigned from the ground up to optimize entertainment.  It's 80 percent smaller then the previous model, even with a internal power supply built in.  Therefore you can put it anywhere and still save space.  Furthermore the new Apple TV is more energy efficient(it uses less power then a night light), and it stays very quiet during operation because there is no internal fan.
     It works very similar to iTunes, in the sense that you can rent and stream TV shows and movie rentals directly to your apple TV and other apple devices.  But it's better then Netflix because, Netflix only offers a limited amount of HD movie rentals over, and most of the time when a new release comes out that title is only offered in DVD format.  You can also rent your favorite TV shows in HD, and keep them saved for one month until you start watching them, then you have 24 hours to watch the show.

     Another cool feature of the Apple TV is that it has Netflix, YouTube, MobieMe, and Flickr built in.  You can also upload Pics, Videos, and music from your other internet devices via Airtime sharing.  Furthermore you can stream whatever your watching on your Apple TV to your iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone with a click of a button while on WiFi.  So if you want to watch the movie while you chance rooms inside your house you don't have to miss a beat!
     Personally I think the Apple TV is the best video and TV rental system available because its compact, fast, stylish, gives you options by letting you select where you want to purchase your movies from, its energy efficient, and environmental safe.  So why just get Netflix when you have have more new releases in HD, and TV shows from iTunes as well as it being compatible with all your other apple devices?
