XBox 360 IPTV, Apple TV: What's New in Digital Content-to-TV Devices

Between product launches at CES and the debut of Apple TV at MacWorld, devices that help consumers get their digital content via their televisions are clearly one of the hottest trends for 2007.

GigaOm's NewTeeVee blog has some great coverage of Apple TV, including a comparison against other new products like Sony's BRAVIA Internet Video Link Box, NetGear's Digital Entertainer HD, and Sling Media's SlingCatcher. 

At CES, Microsoft unveiled their new solution, which brings together the Xbox 360™ gaming console and the Microsoft® TV IPTV Edition software platform. Gizmodo has a great piece that clears up confusion about what exactly the XBox adds to the IPTV equation. The conclusion:

"it is essentially the same as the standard Microsoft IPTV software, it's simply running on a 360. Both deploying the service AND the available content is up to the providers, however, and who will be rolling out the service is still to be determined."

The devices will be available at different points in 2007, and it remains to be seen which will catch on  with consumers. Certainly availability of content, price, and variety of applicable formats will play a large part in any device's success.
