5 Reasons Why Apple TV Rules, 5 Reasons Why it Sucks – Blog.Wired.com:

1. It’s $300. Damn. And no free cables!

2. If you don’t use iTunes-DRMed media, it offers nothing new. There’s no reason to bother if you have something similar and your movies and such are not gotten via Apple.

3. It doesn’t do much. Even though it’s a capable computer in itself, it’s all in the service of functionality that’s designed in, instead of being emergent from its hardware capabilities. Yeah, that’s just the way it works with modern appliances, but if it has a Pentium M CPU, 256 MB RAM, a 40GB hard drive, why no PVR? Why such limited features?

4. This is really just 3b: With all that grunt, it’s basically a Mac Mini Mini with lots of outputs and special software. Why can’t I just slap OS X or Windows or Linux on it and use it as a kids’ computer, the heart of a MAME cabinet, a Car PC, or something a little more fully-featured? Let me in. (We may get in real easy, of course, but that’s for the hackers to discover.)

5. Won’t work with other DRM systems. Goes without saying, but say it I must. It’s our fault for using DRM, of course. Then again, DRM is the top reason for having to buy this expensive baby.

The article also provides 5 reasons as to why it doesn’t suck, but they don’t seem to tip the balance for me. Granted, it’s a good start for this field.
