One of the big questions concerning whether or not the new Apple TV will be able to run apps of some sort is "how much onboard RAM does it have?"
That question has been answered by the guys at iFixit, who as usual have been the first to tear apart and document the internal workings of the Apple TV. The answer? 8 GB of NAND flash RAM made by Samsung. The iFixit team speculates that the RAM is most likely going to be used to cache incoming video streams, but it might also be used to temporarily hold apps that could run under iOS on the device.
More interesting news about the Apple TV is bound to come out in the next couple of days; stay tuned to TUAW for
