The new device is much more of a direct competitor to the Boxee Box that is due for an update this November.

Boxee comments on new Apple TV
Apple TV hands-on
The rumors were true, the Apple TV really has slimmed-down, gotten wise to streaming and turned itself into an affordable and tempting home entertainment device. We grabbed some hands-on time with the impressively compact media player after the Apple keynote, and while we’ll need to get one into our living room to know exactly how well the Apple TV’s new rental focus delivers, we’ve still got some first impressions after the cut.

The Apple TV revolution may have been less a revolution and more of a hobby, which has been agreed upon even by Steve Jobs himself. But, that’s not stopping Jobs and company from announcing a brand new, second-generation Apple TV. But, this time around, it certainly is a revolution, even if you’re just looking at it from a first-to-second generation stand point. Now smaller, a quarter of the size of the original and able to fit into the palm of your hand, Apple TV has become something completely different.
Apple Store is Down, as Usual
Today is September 1st, and while that means we are one step closer to Fall, and cooler days all around, it also means something else: an Apple event. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, as you probably already know by now, there's an Apple event today. And while it's music oriented, we've also get some good hunches that says a few more goodies are going to be unveiled today, too. With that in mind, as usually happens, the Apple Store is down, which means something is coming.

Amazon Movie and TV Streaming Proposed, May Be Coming Soon
With a brand new Apple event just about to take place tomorrow, we're a bit surprised to hear talk of another company thinking about doing something we've already heard Apple talking over, in their own way. This time around, according to sources familiar with the matter, it's Amazon, and they are aiming at taking a stab at Netflix, along with TV in general, in making an online streaming service available to its customers.

Just today, we brought you the rumor that Apple would be holding some kind of event, primarily focused on their iPod Touch, and perhaps even on Apple’s upcoming revamp of AppleTV (iTV), on September 7th. That didn’t last long at all, really, because Apple has just gone on their rounds and sent out the standard, yet provocative email inviting us to their brand new special event coming next week.
Apple iPod/iTV event tipped for September 7th
Bloomberg's suggestion that Apple were planning $0.99 TV show rentals distracted us from perhaps more imminent news: that their sources reckon the company is preparing a September 7th event in San Francisco. That, it's claimed, would see a new Apple TV - tipped to be renamed the Apple iTV - debut, alongside the fourth-generation iPod touch.

Apple's plans for the Apple TV continue to gather a halo of rumors, with Digg founder Kevin Rose throwing his own insider gossip into the ring.
