Apple refreshed the Apple TV today. It’s a quarter of the size of the previous generation and has no internal storage. The new size and new internal storage results in a nice price drop to $99. At that price you aren’t giving up anything and got some additional features. The new Apple TV has built-in Netflix streaming. It fits perfectly with the Apple TV navigation and give you all the Netflix streaming options. If you can’t find it on Netflix you can now rent TV shows and movies through the Apple TV. TV shows start at 99 cents and movies are $4.99. If you can’t rent it or stream it with Netflix, you can stream videos from your iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone with AirPlay. AirPlay works over wireless to stream content from your devices.

I wasn’t that impressed with the first AppleTV but new version added enough improvements for me to pre-order.
