Apple TV now officially available in India for Rs. 7,900
Posted on 10:57 by Maria Scott
Apple has officially launched the Apple
TV in India for Rs. 7,900, almost a year after it was originally
launched in the U.S. Apple has updated its India website accordingly and you can find the Apple TV listed under the iPod section of the site.
The Apple TV, for the uninitiated, is a
media streamer that lets you stream and share content from your Apple
devices and from iTunes to your HDTV. The device needs to be connected
to your HDTV through HDMI, while it can pull content from other Apple
devices over a wireless or a wired network. Apart from content you
already own, you can also use the Apple TV to purchase content from the
Indian iTunes store and view it on your TV.
Apple TV also provides access to a limited section of streaming content outside of the iTunes store
but since most of the content is around Baseball and international
finance, it's not really something that will become really popular.
Apart from music and videos, you can also use the Apple TV to view
photos from your iPhone or iPad or those hosted on iCloud, mirror
content (like games) from your iPhone/iPod or iPad to your TV using
AirPlay and watch videos from sites like YouTube and Vimeo.
While talking to ThinkDigit, an Apple
India representative stated that the company was looking at partnering
with Indian content providers to stream content using Apple TV, similar
to the way American users can access video streaming services like
Netflix and Hulu Plus on their TVs through the device. However, there
were no specific details available right now.
There are already a bunch of HD media players available in the Indian market such as the WD Live HD, Asus O! Play Mini and the Amkette Flash TV HD.
These media players let you stream content from external hard drives to
your TV. However, the media player segment is yet to breakthrough in
terms of mass adoption. It will be interesting to see whether Apple,
with its new found interest in India, will be able to drive up sales of
the Apple TV.
