Has built in Netflix and Now TV, iPlayer apps etc. Yes there are other smart boxes that have these Apps too like the Roku but its good if you also want to do the iOS specific stuff and have it all in one box.
As as well as mirroring video etc from your iOS device it links to your iTunes account so you don't have to rely on mirroring from iOS. For example any movies or music you have bought on iTunes are available on the box.
My fave feature is mirroring from my MacBook Air, basically meaning I can use my 40" TV as a wireless 2nd monitor (mirrored or extended mode) from my laptop...
Another small feature is I can have my laptop hooked up in another room to my stereo playing music but also use the Apple TV to mirror that music (TV with soundbar is a good example). Ok its not SONOS but its a nice way of having music going through the house in different rooms all synced together in time without any physical wire between those rooms.

They seem to be selling for £50+ on eBay used so seems like a good deal.
