AppleTV
I've purchased an AppleTV device for the purpose of seeing podcasts on TV. I'm somewhat interested in TV and Movie content moving from the computer to my larger screen.
For me, I'm curious of two outcomes from AppleTV: 1. will this be the market making device for TV and movie purchases? 2. will this be the market making device for video podcasting? By market maker, I mean will there be a new critical mass of people buying/subscribing to video content or will this just be a niche device like the Mac mini.
I'm also not sure how high the quality factor can go. I'd guess a single HD TV show would fill the HD. What about sports content? Will AppleTV be the 'IT' for buying sports content?
After I set up, I'll post some results and thoughts.
