CNET’s gadget blog, Crave, has published their first impressions of the new Apple TV device here on their website. The device, which is finally shipping, is designed to bridge your Mac/PC and your television set – providing digital content directly onto your TV. If you check out the posting, you’ll also see a preview video of the device.

What I love about this first impression is what they call the Apple TV – a “bigger, stationary-networked iPod that you hook up to your TV.” Hahaha.. yes.. a larger iPod indeed.

Here’s a another quote from the preview:

At this early stage, the fact that Apple TV brings iPod-like convenience and ease of use to the network-streaming media market is really its trump card. Digital media pack rats with multi-gigabyte, multi-codec video collections will want to look elsewhere–or begin the mother of all QuickTime transcoding sessions–but anyone looking to enjoy their iTunes content in the comfort of their living room may well find the Apple TV to be their favorite gadget since the iPod.
