This year we have seen lots of set top boxes launch like the Boxee Box and the Google TV devices but according to market research firm Strategy Analytics the most popular is Apple 2nd gen Apple TV. The £99 box is to be found in 8% of US homes and 7% of European homes which gives it 32% of the connected set top box market. Coming up in second place is Roku’s device (due in the UK next year), considering the limited features of the Apple TV the number is impressive but I guess with the Apple name on the box its going to sell.
Anybody got one on their Christmas list?

I have to wonder what percentage of Apple TV users are using it hacked to run XBMC
