Note 2: The hacking of the Apple TV has begun in full force. There's a new blog on the subject, plus a ton of comments in this SomethingAwful thread, not to mention several dissections.
Here's what we know so far:
Hardware:

- NVIDIA G72M graphics with 64MB DDR2 memory
- 256MB of 400MHz DDR2
- Suspected to be a modified version of OS X 10.4 or 10.5
- Nothing so far.
- TCP port 3689 is used to communicate with iTunes while using the iTunes Library Sharing feature.
- UDP port 5353 is used by Apple TV for automatically finding computers with iTunes on your network using Bonjour.
