Works fine with VLC for me. I always hate the over-enthusiasm of the audience at these things "woo we're so excited to be able to buy new products!!!"
Keep in mind that a decent chunk of the audience is the engineers who have spent years working on the product and are very proud of their work and excited about its release.

Unless it's like the original iPhone launch where most of the engineers were backstage/ elsewhere still trying to make sure it worked to as much of what Steve wanted to do/show as possible, working up to minutes before the reveal to get the iOS build as stable as possible.

Probably most of the people in the room are celebrities/journalists/the wealthy.

Though exclusive to Apple devices doesn't mean that the HBO Now app won't support chrome cast right?

Exclusive at launch. I expect it to move to other devices later.

Edit: Price drop is nice, but why not a new version...?!

I'd buy an AppleTV for every room in the house at that price...if it had a Plex app.

All it does is stream video. It's probably already overpowered for what Apple wants it to do.

Hey now, I miss the old MacWorld Expo days where Steve would spec bump the G4 from 450 to a whopping 500 MHz! Thanks Motorola (now Freescale) for the memories!
