Apple TV vs Roku HD... fight!

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/30/apple-tv-vs-roku-hd-fight/

Two tiny black 720p boxes, two interesting choices. The $59 Roku HD will put Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand and Roku's 75 other content channels on your TV quickly and easily, while the $99 Apple TV offers up iTunes rentals, Netflix, and eventually AirPlay streaming from your iPad or iPhone. (You could step up to the Roku XDS with 1080p support for $99, but we don't think the extra money will be really worth it until the USB playback channel is released and / or there's more useful 1080p content available.) It's a tough decision, so check out our Apple TV review or our Roku XDS review and just try to make up your mind. Then again, you could grab 'em both and still not break the bank.
