So I downloaded Madefire, one of the first apps available for the new device. Madefire adds a twist to digital comics with sound effects, music and motion, bringing the panels to life on the big screen. Within minutes, I was bingeing on a series about Superman turning into a corrupt dictator.
Playing with apps is just one new feature of the revamped Apple TV, which will ship this week. It’s that plethora of innovations and apps that leads me to conclude that the upgraded $149 box is now the best TV streaming device you can get for your money.

NanoTech Media has partnered with several readers and artists to provide a vast library of top quality children's stories. CEO Jeffrey A. Foley stated, "We are very excited about this project and bringing the classic stories onto the OTT and IPTV platforms. The NanoTales channel will feature audiobook style readings of classic stories combined with classic illustrations that are synchronized with the stories. Rather than producing animated shorts, we wanted to focus on the story, and not the action. By using illustration techniques pioneered by documentary producers such as Ken Burns, we feel that the story can be enhanced greatly with the addition of these visuals."
Foley closed by saying, "We are excited to be creating a channel focused on classic stories that span the gap of generations, bringing them into the world of technology." NanoTales is expected to debut on the Roku TV Platform in July of 2013, with other platforms following shortly thereafter.
