Or it could have had the capability to play Xvid and DviX from the beginning. Oh wait, this is Apple...

@kuonji: And why should Apple include Xvid and DivX support? Does that add anything to their bottom line? I mean really? How many more units will they sell because of included Xvid/DivX support? Maybe 25,000 at the absolute most? Or should they just focus on making sure the item does something and does it well instead of making it a one-size-fits all solution?

Keep in mind: Apple is in business to make money, not to make you happy with supporting formats they have nothing to do with. So, if you want an Apple TV, then go get one and start hacking. If you don't, then go get another solution and quit trolling...
