Rumor: Is the Apple TV being replaced?

I would like to be able to stream any web cast from a Mac to the Apple tv so that I can watch any web casts on my living room tv. Right now we cannot do that with Apple tv.

When is this webcast supposed to take place?

Wow...I love my AppleTv but if they blend the 2 together and make such a hybrid...I'd probably have to spend the bones for one.

Popcorn Hour > all

I tried to order one from an online retailer:

Thank you for your order.
Streetwise are currently out of stock of the Apple TV - 160GB Version.
Unfortunately, there is no confirmed arrival date for this item, as Apple have told us they are unsure when they are getting stock. Our Product Manager is hoping that 1-2 weeks i s the maximum wait.

Interesting.

Apple TV 2.0
HARDWARE:
-Blu Ray drive OR ability to recognize DVD external DVD player, TiVo as a source
-1080i capability
-on/off switch
-firewire ports/usb ports = hub
-acts as base station for network? AKA media hub
-Sirius/XM integration with links to iTunes for purchasing? (probably never...)

SOFTWARE:
iTunes store:
-better movie ratings/reviews - maybe restrict reviews (like the app store) to movies that you have bought/rented - “OMG best EVAH clik YES if U agre!!!!!!”
-better social networking of the reviews - anything would be better - look at Digg, Amazon, IMDB, for examples

Apple TV/Front Row software:
-faster basic navigation - arrange remote so that double click on Menu takes you to the double pane home screen instead of ‘click, click, click, click, click’
-faster ‘My (Media)’ navigation - a long list of names in alphabetical order can take FOREVER - maybe use grid view and/or have it like on the iPhone - artist/album name in alphabetical order, but on the right of the screen, a small alphabet that you highlight & takes you to all the artists/albums/songs that start with that letter
-widgets for weather, traffic, sports scores, movie times, etc.
-??? RSS reader. ??? Background AIM/Chat feature with on/off function (doubt it but would love it - few would use it, go after low hanging fruit first)

!!!!MUSIC VIDEO SHUFFLE FEATURE PLEASE!!!!!

Media issues: (not really under their control)
-extended rentals for movies
-ability to rent TV shows
-once media/movies added, is not removed - always available to rent/purchase
-integration of online streaming sites with links to iTunes for purchasing/rentals - AKA Hulu, MLB.com, etc
-Sirius/XM integration with links to iTunes for purchasing?
- online radio integration (via WiFi, NOT FM!!!) with links to iTunes for purchasing?

I doubt the AppleTV is getting replaced tomorrow. It is on the homepage for store.apple.com, and if you buy it, it says that it will ship within 24 hours.

May be they will eventually start selling iPod Touch 2G in Japan ?
:p

Its just a new mag-safe power adapter, hence the codename, "Brick".

Hi
I tried to buy an Apple TV in France this Saturday.
The reseller said he has no more Apple TV and that Apple announced him that this product will be stopped...
According to the efforts made by Apple on the content offer (especially with the majors), I think they will continue to offer a product for VoD.
