It is advised by the jailbreakers to buy an Apple TV as early as possible before the jailbreak hole is fixed by Apple via revised hardware. The new Apple TV is scheduled to ship in late September for $99, and it will be interesting to see how quickly the hacker community is able to tear into the device.
