What more do you want?

Apple needs work, yes. And it will get it over time that will keep it ahead of other options.

The use of a gaming console most often found lying on the living room carpet or in the kid's bedroom next to a towering DVD/CD cabinet cabled across the floor to the TV that must have a TV-tuner equipped PC - everyone has one of those - right? - is hugely chump.

Over time there will be a blurring of such offerings - for example iTunes having a MySpace-like section and MySpace growing an iTunes-like one. Key for success: CONTENT, CONTENT, CONTENT - get it? ]]> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:03:58 -0400

Apple TV could be attached to the TV set today (retaining clips, power outlet, HDMI panel on the back panel) so as to appear as if part of it. A more mature version of the device could be built right in. You couldn't do that so easily with the relatively humungous set-top box. Trouble is, there is stuff in the box - remote control, satellite set-up, channel authorization, selection, billing, display etc, that is must have stuff too.

Don't look for Apple to be producing such a union themselves although such strategy must be the subject of keen debate within the company. Rather, they would strike up partnerships with set manufactures and cable-satellite companies - much as Sony is trying to do today. Compelling content will decide the winners.

One thing is certain, Apple TV must have a screen. And to content hungry viewers, increasingly, their dumb TV needs an Apple.]]> Sun, 01 Jun 2008 11:05:29 -0400

It is strongly rumored that the 3G iPhone touch screen will be more keyboard centric - touch becomes more like press. This had better be so if the iPhone is to become a serious player with heavy email business folks. It is to the degree that touch approaches press (both in feel and sound) that will determine the success of the technology for typing text over the long term.]]> Tue, 13 May 2008 10:24:52 -0400

Not so in the download world. For example, using the $230 Apple TV, a device about the size of a hardback book, the user downloads a movie of choice from 1000's, no differently than if it were a music track. And that, after having had the benefit of viewing the trailer!

Furthermore, using the same device and the same on-screen menu, one can browse and view YouTube clips in addition to one's iTunes Music Library, TV Show and PC/Mac photograph files!]]> Sun, 11 May 2008 11:20:28 -0400
