I am currently listening to MacBreak Weekly 210: Apple’s Fall Announcement<\/a> and considering the pronostication for the Apple TV from the September 1st Apple Event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I love this device.\u00a0 I really like the 802.11n and I really like the Price Point!\u00a0 I can afford the 99$ and that makes this an easy buy.\u00a0 Having access to NetFlix and my iTunes Library in the same place really makes me love this.\u00a0 I see 3 things that will happen to the device over the next year or two:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Orchard will hold and deliver personal content to any iPhone, iTouch, iPad, and Apple TV.<\/li>\n
  2. Apple will develop a home iTunes server that will allow for several accounts and multiple account access.\u00a0 Think HP’s Windows Home Server with the iTunes plug-in.<\/li>\n
  3. Apple will allow for App development which will bring in more content and some games.\u00a0 This may require a new Apple TV to handle multiple iPhones, iTouchs, and iPads … to act as game controllers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once, Apple puts these pieces into place, it defines the paradigm and concept of what that device in the living room is that handles TV Shows, Movies, Music, and Gaming!<\/p>\n

    I need to pre-order mine.<\/p>\n

    P.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Others Thoughts<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Wired’s Epicenter, How Apple Just Disrupted the Cable Guys<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Ars Technica, No longer a hobby? $99 Apple TV drops storage, integrates Netflix<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Fortune Tech, Apple TV swings hard but misses<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I\u00a0 have to disagree with Fortune, I think that they are wanting a solution to a problem that everyone is searching for.\u00a0 Wired & Ars, I think are on the same train of thought as I am and Apple.\u00a0 It isn’t the answer yet … another step or iteration on the path to getting it right.\u00a0 I look forward to seeing what comes next.\u00a0 I hope they see and realize that this can’t be a stand alone box; it has to have a robust back-end of content.<\/span>
