Apple TV: No DivX Inside

If some users were still expecting that the Apple TV will support DivX, we have received information proving the opposite.
One of our forum members, ZaraA, discussed with Jérome Rota, founder of DivX, who could confirm that Apple did not contact him regarding a possible integration of DivX into the Apple TV.
So, the Apple TV will not support DivX video, and one will probably have to find some tricks to allow DivX to be played and/or streamed via this video box. We think that Apple makes a mistake by preventing the Apple TV to be compatible with a popular video format. Cupertino should not forget that the iPod success was mostly built thanks to its compatibility with the MP3 audio format and not due to AAC which was almost unknown when the first iPod model was released. Instead of limiting features of its potential blockbuster products, Apple should also explain and fix the current issues with Airport Express short lifetime and Airport-deficient iMac Core 2 Duo, without forgetting the memory slot curse affecting PowerBooks.
