Comments on: The Next Apple TV? Drawing Inspiration From the iPad http://gigaom.com/2010/03/15/the-next-apple-tv-drawing-inspiration-from-the-ipad/ Thu, 20 Jun 2013 02:42:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Google TV or Apple TV? « Apple News Daily http://gigaom.com/2010/03/15/the-next-apple-tv-drawing-inspiration-from-the-ipad/#comment-383157 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:13:17 +0000 http://theappleblog.com/?p=42347#comment-383157 [...] We’ve speculated before about what a future Apple TV could look like and rumors are circulating that the next version could be based on the iPhone OS. This inevitability opens the door to an App Store and, at least in my opinion, works to address the issue of getting content to the consumer in a way that they want to buy it. Apple has tried several approaches to this (iTunes Extras, for instance) but nothing has really seen the runaway success like the App Store. [...]

If Apple can get a few more people foaming for digital content with the iPad, then perhaps this will show content providers that a viable market for digital VIDEO content exists.

Right now they apparently see digital consumers as rats in the basement that don’t mind if a few crumbs fall through the cracks of the floor boards… when really we are potatoes on the sofa that are sick of driving to the video store! haha!

They’re deleted from the AppleTV after watching; so, even the dinky oem HD is sufficient.

720p was adequate until the living room TV got bigger and 1080p-capable. 1080i is noticeably better than 720p in the content we usually watch via DirecTV and our DVR. But, now that I’ve added that DVR to our wireless network, I can download the occasional 1080p movie – which has enabled dropping the several movie channels I subscribed to.

The cost of those subscriptions vs. the number of films watched vs. the cost of On Demand downloads made that an easy decision.

Still – if there was an updated AppleTV – 1080p ready – I’d get one.

This would force all of us into the fringe like Cydia is on the iPhone. It wouldn’t help us developers or the end-users in any way. Nor would an SDK, you see the unreasonable 8 gazillion page PDF of limitations on the iPad/iPhone? You don’t think they would do the EXACT SAME THING on the AppleTV?

It is just like the iPod…therefore it doesn’t take advantage of the extra zillions of extra pixels of usable real estate.

One simple cable hookup is always better than five.
