Bloggers are starting to drool over the Archos TV+, and using it as an opportunity to give AppleTV the back of their hand.
Peter Pachal at SciFi.com says TV+ has it over AppleTV in these areas:
- 500 GB disk to Apple TV’s 40 GB (160 GB for $100 more).
- Standard-definition video outputs so you can use it with older TVs, unlike AppleTV’s incompatibility with SD sets.
