As eagerly anticipated as the movie-download store itself, the iTV looks like a Mac mini, and is intended to connect to your TV set and connect wirelessly to computers to retrieve video and audio content. Other products like this have been on the market for years, but industry watchers think Apple has the charm and design savvy to sell "media servers" to a mainstream audience...
