Updated Apple TV with 1080p Video Support to Maintain $99 Price Tag
Tuesday March 6, 2012 8:15 pm PST by Eric Slivka
9to5Mac reports that it has now received pricing information from reliable source "Mr. X" on the part number for the updated Apple TV revealed last week, with the new model coming in at the same $99 price as the current model.
The Apple TV J33 model, MD199LL/A – J33 BEST -USA, which we’ve covered before will come in at the same $99 price point (and similar prices globally). We know from previous reports that it will have updated hardware internally including Bluetooth 4.0 Broadcom chip as well as a higher powered processor capable of 1080P video.
It will likely look the same with similar ports otherwise, though that hasn’t been confirmed.
The report also offers a price for the unknown product carrying a code name of "B82" that surfaced last week, with the item coming in at $39. It is likely to be an accessory of some sort for one of the major product launches coming tomorrow, but its identity remains unknown.

on the price staying as $99.. unless they decided to change the form again like putting back a HD or whatnoti wonder what that $39 dollar product is
the standard smart cover is $39 already and supposedly works with the new iPad.
another adapter of some sort?

Meh, it really boils down to the proper mix of the OS and the hardware working effectively together.
Now if they had a way to provide inductive charging for the iPad out of the box, power issues wouldn't be as worrysome if they integrated the quad core.

Lol @ the apple drinking game.
Each time this word is said, take a swig in the listed amount:
Amazing: 1
It just works: 1
Incredible: 2
Wonderful: 2
Simply amazing: 3
We really love it: down remaining drink and start new one.

I'm Down Right Fierce!
I agree with that statement, but only in regards to the Ipad - for android, hands down Quad Core is better. My Transformer Prime blows my Touchpad and Xoom out of the water.
IOS was already blazing fast on the A5, and an upgrade to the A5X should be sufficient for the Ipad 3/HD or whatever its called. A6 would be awesome though.
Guess I'll be spending most of this afternoon trying to pre-order the new toy for the fiance.

We're looking at Twitter on "a Samsung tablet" -- it's the Galaxy Tab. "It kind of looks like a blown-up smartphone app running on a tablet -- and that's exactly what it is!"
Now Yelp on the same tab. "Lots of whitespace, tiny text. It's kind of hard to see."
Now the iPad version. "Clearly designed to take advantage of the large canvas."
