Who Will Win the Home Entertainment Battle?

The author assumes Apple TV is only good for streaming paid movies and tv. Uses for Apple TV that the author does not understand.

1. Connects your home entertainment center to iTunes. Now you can stream over the air or by wire your entire iTunes library to your tv/surround system. Do people still have stereos?

2. Allows for all of your photo libraries to be used as a screen saver while music is playing. Everyone that has ever seen this asks how we do it.

3. You can play all of your movies and tv shows that are in itunes.

4. You can watch content that you load into iTunes such as DVD's, tivo recordings, etc.

5. You tube on the Tv. Kids love this.

6. You iPhone becomes your remote.

Call it a flop if you want but it is a neat device for certain uses, just like a tivo is a great dvr if you want a dvr. A dvd would be nice but why buy a dvd when you can buy the movie in Itunes. Lastly, why buy dvd's period unless they are kid movies. Are you really going to watch Superbad 10 times on a dvd when you could tape it to your dvr or computer for free.
