Which is better - generation 1 or 2

I am thinking of buying Apple TV
1st Generation had a hard drive
2nd doesn't
Is this the biggest difference?
Which is the better model?

The ATV 1G has some features the 2G lacks.
- Because you can store content on it you can load it up and travel with it and use it on the road away from your Mac.
- Because you can store content on it you can access content synced to it while your Mac is off, asleep, or otherwise occupied. The 2G version requires that your Mac be running and available to stream content to the ATV.
- You can use it as an audio jukebox and stream music from it to any Airport Express connected speakers you have. Since you can control it using an iTouch or iPhone over your wireless network this gives you control from anywhere in your home.
- It has composite video jacks, so you can hook it up to a TV that does not have HDMI. The 2G only has HDMI out.
It lacks some of the 2G features though, such as streaming NetFlix. And it has a larger footprint.
For me the ATV 1G is a better device.

  • Which is better the 1st g or 2nd generation ipod touch

    I like to know which is better and last longer and wont have much issues
    A. 1st g ipod touch
    or
    B. 2nd genertion ipof touch
    I like to know I dont know which one I want, and I like to hear it from a person who know what there talking about and who knows alot about ipod touch
    reply back real soon
    I need to know

    Hello,
    It really depends on your own wants/needs. When the price of the refurbished touch dropped down to $199, I went ahead and purchased it, and so far, I don't regret it or want the 2nd generation (which I have seen and played with).
    The main differences with the 2nd generation include a built-in Nike+ receiver (Nike+ is pretty much an iPod-integrated pedometer that works with just the Nano so far), external volume controls, and an internal speaker for "casual listening" (meaning that it doesn't really have that great of volume/audio quality, but the headphones are just as good as any other iPod).
    I don't think at this stage we can determine which will have a longer, overall life expectancy. After all, the 2nd generations have only been around since the 9th of this month, and the 1st generations are roughly a year old at this point. Not really a fair comparison.
    Regarding issues you might experience... several users on this forum have reported Wi Fi issues with the 2nd generation, but, keep in mind that this is generally a support forum, so most of what you see on here will be issues looking for resolution. I haven't had any issues with the 1st generation that I haven't been able to solve by a simple reset.
    Hope this is helpful

  • Which is better External View OR Database procedure Proxy ?

    Hi Jasmin and Kilian,
    Creation of External View in HANA and consume in ABAP.
    Which is better External View OR Database procedure Proxy.

    Hi Pravin,
    that depends on your application logic and use case. There is no general recommendation for one or the other.
    If, for instance, you have input parameters, you would go for a DB procedure proxy, since the external view does not allow to pass input parameters from the ABAP to the HANA column view.
    On the other hand, if you would like to consume the result in an ALV with integrated data access (the "next generation ALV"), you would rather go for an external view... so - like the answer to so many other questions - it depends... .
    Cheers,

  • Which is better to use: BEx query or Web Application as an iView in portal?

    Hi gurus!
    Are there any experienced opinions, which is better - publish a BEx query in portal or publish a BEx Web Application in portal? Is it easier to alter the layout attributes etc. if I create a BEx Web Application first before publishing?
    What is the way of fixing for example filter item height if I publish BEx query in portal - is there a Web Application that it uses anyhow which I can fix? Or can I use in that case iView -properties in portal?
    Thankful for advice
    Sari

    ok, means i can use jsp:useBean tag for all my
    classes that are not actually bean. so it will be
    instantiated at run time and provide efficiency .No. Jsp:useBean is used for java bean components.
    >
    but when should i use import statement in my jsp and
    it happen at translation time so will it create any
    type of burden for my code if i import multiple
    classes.For non-java beans, you need to import the classes, period.
    It's not a burden, it's a necessity.

  • Which is better for performance Azure SQL Database or SQL Server in Azure VM?

    Hi,
    We are building an ASP.NET app that will be running on Microsoft Cloud which I think is the new name for Windows Azure. We're expecting this app to have many simultaneous users and want to make sure that we provide excellent performance to end users.
    Here are our main concerns/desires:
    Performance is paramount. Fast response times are very very important
    We want to have as little to do with platform maintenance as possible e.g. managing OS or SQL Server updates, etc.
    We are trying to use "out-of-the-box" standard features.
    With that said, which option would give us the best possible database performance: a SQL Server instance running in a VM on Azure or SQL Server Database as a fully managed service?
    Thanks, Sam

    hello,
    SQL Database using shared resources on the Microsft data centre. Microsoft balance the resource usage of SQL Database so that no one application continuously dominates any resource.You can try the 
    Premium Preview
    for Windows Azure SQL Database which offers better performance by guaranteeing a fixed amount of dedicated resources for a database.
    If you using SQL Server instance running in a VM, you control the operating system and database configuration. And the
    performance of the database depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.
    Reference:
    Choosing between SQL Server in Windows Azure VM & Windows Azure SQL Database

  • Which is better??????

    which is better?Dam really confused which speaker to buy??
    i currently have a creative m2600.but am not getting enough performance or that feel while watching movies like avatar,step up 3 etc......so am planning to buy a 5.1.......not planning but i have decided to buy a 5.1....so..
    which is better? the 6160 or 6060 or 6100.
    which of these will provide me relly great exprience while playing games and most importantly while whatching hd movies and while listening to music.......
    and other than this what i have to ask is...what is this "db" in speakers. i mean while looking at a speaker specs we can see it..like 65db,85db,75db..etc........
    and when i compared specs of the three speakers i mentioned above i saw that the 6160 has low "db"........why is that?

    The specs is just a guide, you won't be able to tell the slight difference in db using just your ears. Besides, it is just a comparison between the level of a music to the level of background noise, it does not necessary mean which speaker sounds better. If possible, please make a trip to your local electronics store and try out the speakers system yourself.

    Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ? and why ?

    If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.

  • Which is better an android or apple

    Which is better getting an android smart phone or an Apple I Phone?

    As the poster Horses 547 said its a matter of personal preference. However I own and use both. Printing via air print is smooth and easy on an iphone. Printing on a android phone is iffy and tedious and you will have to find an app to print since there is no native app to do so. I purchased http://www.printhand.com which costs around $12 from the app store. but it is in my opinion the best printing app out there for android. I use it on my android tablet as well and its great. This company is the maker of the print app on iphones.
    The iphone is a little harder to put your own ringtone on the device. However very easy from the Itunes you put on your computer and hook into.
    Another thing an iphone does is if you use their cloud service or pay for a song it is available on all your ios devices. Iphone, ipad, or ipod or up to five computers registered through itunes on those computers.
    Google play music also can sync with all your android devices.
    Iphone don't have external Micro SD card slots, so the storage on the phone is all you have.
    Iphones use imessage which does not count against your text allotment  to another iphone or ipad user. it send regular text to non iphone users.
    Another thing is Face Time but I found a better program called oovoo at http://www.oovoo.com or in the Google Play Store for free.
    Iphones are paper thin but I have an android that has a larger view area and is also paper thin and light. Depending on the android phone it may have a removable battery, whereas iphones are sealed as are some new androids. I have found the sound for music better on my iphone, and videos are crystal clear. Again on some better androids the music and video is comparable .
    There is really not many differences but it up to the user.
    One last good thing is iphones are updated via Apple, no long waits for OS updates like is done with Android devices, and android devices on Verizon.

    all pretty identical tho I would go with cs, just because I
    like the GUI much
    more than other versions...

  • Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

    which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
    Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

    Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
    But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
    May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
    Hope this cleart your doubt..

  • Which is better - Add a dimension or create more members in an existing

    Which is better - Add a dimension or create more members in an existing dimension?
    We are trying to figure out which can give us better performance in terms of calculations and retrieving reports - to add another dimension (entity/country) or add about 500-800 more members in an existing location/division dimension?
    Thank you!

    If you have BSO cube i would recommend to add in the same dimension where as ASO you can add members in a new dimension. Adding a new dimension is like creating a new cube you have to change each and every single calc scripts,report scripts,FR reports,Webforms and your rule files .... all the dependencies has to be changed manually . I think 500 members in the exsting BSO dimension will not impact the calc or retrieval times that much .

    For some reason that link I gave you isn't working right now, but it was today, weird. I would get Tomcat simple because sun uses it in its examples and recommends it. Here's sun's link then, it's probably more useful anyway. http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/
