What's wrong with iOS/Darwin? As iOS runs one app at a time, there wouldn't be much of a difference. As soon as you jailbreak the Apple TV, you have a neat little device running a POSIX compatible and UNIX certified OS, which is for the most part open-source.

1080p should be the kicker here. Although people may say that, given a far enough distance from the TV, you wouldn't notice a difference between 720p and 1080p, I personally beg to differ.

The ATV2 still remains an awesome device, though.
