3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK not great, December 14, 2009

This review is from: Apple TV For Dummies (Paperback)
This book is about as good as the manual you get with the Apple TV product itself. It is too simplistic and doesn't really cover anything new. I liked the Apple TV Pocket Guide much better. I can't recommend this book unless you get it at a discounted price.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a good gift to wrap when gifting an Apple TV, January 20, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apple TV For Dummies (Paperback)
I don't actually buy the technology in our family; this was something to wrap up for my hubby. No body has actually read the book; and he decided to go with a PS3 instead because it does everything he wanted Apple TV to do and more (blueray, streaming movies from server...) I am only rating it 3 stars cause the book is physicaly smaller than I expected. LOL
