Apple TV heads to US stores

NEW YORK: Apple Inc. said on Wednesday that it has started to ship to the US stores its new Apple TV box, a device that lets viewers take music and video stored on a computer and play it on a television set.

Apple TV works through a wireless connection and is touted as delivering entertainment to a TV screen with nearly the same quality as a DVD player.

The box can store up to 50 hours of video, 9,000 songs or 25,000 photos, or a combination of the three formats.

Apple said its suggested retail price for the device is $299.
