1080p who cares? The hardware isn't nearly as important as the content and the price of the box itself. The success or failure of the Apple TV won't be whether or not it plays 1080p at such and such a frame rate blah blah blah. It will be the content. It won't be a success if it plays 1080p but only has a small library. It will be a success if it plays HD content (720p is pretty good HD) and has a huge library. I hope this catches on and lots of people buy it and studios and broadcasters see it as a viable medium and start throwing all their content onto it. If that happens there is so much potential for a set top box like this. I hope netflix comes to Canada soon because that alone will sell a bunch of Apple TV's.
