Who Will Win the Home Entertainment Battle?

I agree that AppleTV sucks. Apple is, however, still poised to be the dominant brand for home/personal entertainment and communication. It's simply a matter of increased download speed and storage capacity.

No one can match the simple lifestyle integration Apple is already starting to offer. Within 5 years or so, I predict Apple will provide a seamlessly synchronized personal network for consumers. Everyone will have three simple and powerful devices: an iphone (or whatever it evolves into), a macbook (or future equivalent...think macbook air, but several times more powerful than the current macbook pro), and an Apple home server that is constantly backed up in "the cloud" (Time Machine meets MobileMe). Here's the key: they will be beautiful, well-built, and idiot-proof...somethin... MicroSoft, Sony, and others seem unable to pull off nearly as well.
