Joe Hewitt's Take on the "Apple TV"
I couldn’t really completely agree on his emphasis on AirPlay, until I watched this video demo of AirPlay Mirroring.
I was convinced, I was. This could possibly be the future of “Apple TV” and will send Apple into the console gaming market with a loud bang. And I would call this, “casual-gaming-taken-to-the-console-gaming-level”.
Just to throw in my own 2cents (wildly). To make the “Apple TV” more compelling for me, make it like a conventional TV (where I can still watch regular TV programs), but with Thunderbolt Display + “Gaming Console” + DVD player, while using iOS devices and Macs as remotes or control devices, and my digital life will be perfect.
The whole Apple integrated “ecosystem” (Apple TV, Macs, iOS devices, App Store, iTunes Store, iCloud) will be complete.
