Both Marianne and I have been talking about this rumored Apple Television for weeks now on the podcast. Loving television as much as I do, I'm intrigued by the Steve Jobs quote that he's finally cracked the code as it relates to TV. There has been plenty of speculation, most of which doesn't seem to be anything resembling the code cracking.
How does this work with DVR's, Blu Ray players, Apple TV, the cloud, my computer, TiVo, Hulu, YouTube? What makes it revolutionary?
Here's the first thing. Facetime. Hardly revolutionary (see Xbox, Logitech, etc.), but having a built in camera for video conferencing via Facetime is a feature that must be part of an Apple Television.
What else? What would make you camp out and drop $2000 on an Apple Television?
- AppleTV integrated into a TV
- Programs as apps
- iTunes Pass
- Siri
