I am really interested in Apple's newly revamped Apple TV, but I still do not understand what audience they are aiming at when mostly everybody who can afford Apple products already have a cable or satellite provider with plenty of HD content. Can somebody answer this for me?

Same as all apple products, the people with too much money and not enough shiny stuff to portray their high social status accurately to the world.

People with netflix, people who want to stream content to their tv from their computer, people who rent a lot of movies, and die hard Apple loyalists.

I have never heard of this Apple TV before. I have never had interest in Apple products though as they are all wastes of money to me. I have never owned one either but I have used an iPod when I was working for a kiosk at a mall selling iPod covers. I don't think they are that great, not enough to waste cash on it. Everything Apple makes is overpriced anyways

From what I've seen most people who own an apple product (not including iPods, cos everyone owns one) are staunchly defensive of it, in other words apple fanboys. So from that you could assume that they will purchase this as well because it is apple.

Not all adults need to waste money on useless items. As an adult I can tell you I have way more important things to purchase in my life but that might just be me /shrug

and to think all I want is an HDTV so I can hook my laptop up to it and get by without a cable bill. There are people who want to throw money away on stuff they basically already have.

Yes-Yes, all bow before me and my high social status!

I will be buying the $99 Apple TV because only "elitists" like me can afford such a product.

It is shiny and worthless but I must have it.
