Apple TV dropping in popularity rankings

I noticed that the Apple TV has dropped considerably in the most popular rankings at the Apple online store rankings. It was the last item that they ranked. I guess it is better than not making the list. I think it would be premature to buy something like that at this time. It only works on a high definition TV but iTunes max format size is only 640x480. While HDTV goes up to 1080i. Will you be able to upgrade to the higher definition later if you buy content now? It still is almost twice the resolution of regular TV at least but still not as good as DVD. I suppose its all due to bandwith limitations and download speeds.

I think we can conclude that there were a lot of early adopters who have the flat screen TV and download lots of iTunes video material. They're the ideal people to take advantage of Apple TV, but they're a limited population for right now!
