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!

We are seriously off topic...
Some people have construction constraints that are difficult to get around. Moving your home theater setup to another room to get better signal is something that many people simply can't or won't do. WiFi extenders are not always a good option, especially if the spectrum is already congested with too many access points. Powerline also can be hit-or-miss on some circuits. Ethernet always works if you can run the cable (sometimes a big if).
On Apple, I find that basic things can be very frustrating, like no SD card support in the ipad, not being able to play an xvid avi, mkv, flac with the built in players, no flash support, not being able to sort your email by read/unread... I disagree with your tech/non-tech classification here - I know several non-techies who prefer android (and also techies who are fine with iphone). I'm glad there is serious competition, since both software platforms need improving.
We'll see what happens with Microsoft. I hope they recover in mobile, but I am not sure they can.
