With a brushed metal design, the box features specification similar to the Apple TV, with a 40GB HD, Wi-Fi, HDMI and optical digital audio outputs, as well as an USB port.
Not much is known about the user interface, but Philips will probably provide as much compatibility as possible regarding supported with video formats, to make its box more attractive than the Apple TV, even though the look a is not really similar, especially considering the external power supply unit (not shown on those photos).
This device could be the only way to push Apple to quickly update its Apple TV by bringing full HD support as well as larger compatibility with video formats.
