Still No Apple TV Audio or Video Streaming Options?
Last I checked there weren't any options to let an Apple TV play content from a ReadyNAS (any variation). Last thread I found on this was last year. Is this condition still the case? Thanks!

If the player isn't that close to the access point, or if they are still running 802.11g then even 8 mpbs streams can be a problem. That's especially the case if the wifi is 2.4 ghz. Theoretical throughput should more than enough, but TCP doesn't give you anywhere near the full bandwidth if you have much packet loss. A lot also depends on how well the player manages its playout buffers.

On Apple generally, I do know people who switched from iPhone to Android and who are quite happy about it. If that you want to do doesn't quite fit into the Apple use model, then you are going to be very frustrated.
On Microsoft, I am thinking Nokia is not enough to make them successful in mobile - and if that is the case, they will slowly starve to death. Though I thought Apple's days were numbered a few years ago. :shock:
