Despite the fact that Apple just released iOS 4.2 Beta 2 for developers, it looks like there's still some reasons to keep your iDevice, especially the iPod Touch, on iOS 4.1. That is, if you like messing around with your iPod Touch enough that, after it's all said and done, you'll have to give the device a full firmware restore. But, thanks to developer Dustin Howett, we now know it's perfectly possible to get Apple TV software running on the iPod Touch.

New Apple TV jailbreak already in works using SHAtter
The SHAtter iPhone jailbreak we wrote about yesterday looks like it could be even more useful than previously thought. As well as opening up the potential for jailbreaking/carrier-unlocking the iPhone and iPod touch while still allowing users to upgrade with official Apple firmware, new testing on the firmware for the new Apple TV has revealed that it, too, is susceptible to the same SHAtter jailbreak hack.

Why the new Apple TV can’t replace my old model
My new Apple TV is scheduled to arrive at my house before the end of the month. It promises Netflix streaming, 99 cent TV shows, and $4.99 HD films. It also allows me to play music by streaming tracks to the device. When I first heard about the new set-top box, I thought for sure that it would replace my current Apple TV.
But, over the past three weeks, I’ve decided that I won’t be replacing my old Apple TV with the new one. In fact, I’m going to keep them both connected to my television and use them as I need them.

NBC Universal Says Apple TV Would Devalue Its Content
Since the launch of iTunes, and its subsequent availability of music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts, it's become the venerable digital retailer for what people love to download. While some might suggest that the pricing could be altered, the general consensus is that $.99 for a show isn't all that bad at all. However, NBC Universal doesn't see it the same way, and believes that pricing their television shows at such a low cost would ultimately "devalue" the content as a whole, and therefore the company is staying away from Apple TV.

Apple TV preorder payments taken: shipping imminent?
It looks like Apple could be preparing to ship its first batch of Apple TV units, with SlashGear reader Russell letting us know that his card has just been charged for his September 1st preorder. Apple usually only takes preorder payment when they're ready to send out the hardware, and that would certainly fit in with the company's launchday promise to release the new STB within around four weeks.

Apple HDTV rumors resurface as Apple secure digital TV IP
Apple has quietly licensed IP belonging to digital content protection and media information specialists Rovi, according to a document filed by the company, prompting analyst speculation that the Cupertino firm is still working on an HDTV with integrated Apple TV.

Apple TV iOS roots confirmed: jailbreak hacks ahoy!
Apple's mysterious mention of an "iProd2,1" in the iOS 4.2 beta spotted earlier this year has turned out to be the newest Apple TV, prompting speculation that the set-top box might be a potential jailbreak target for enterprising hackers. Contrary to earlier rumors, Apple made little reference to the second-gen Apple TV's underlying OS at its launch earlier this month; it had initially been expected that they would push iOS heavily and even bring the App Store to the STB.

Why I pre-ordered the new Apple TV
Let me just get this out of the way now: I don’t like the new Apple TV. I don’t like that it doesn’t feature on-board storage. I don’t like that I can’t buy songs on it. I don’t like that I can’t buy movies and television shows. And I don’t like that it’s a hobbled alternative to even my least useful set-top boxes.
Apple TV First Generation Won’t Get Netflix Streaming
At yesterday's Apple event, the Cupertino-based company unveiled the brand-spanking new Apple TV. It's a vast improvement over the original, surely, and that's all well and good.
