Apple introduces “revolutionary” technology already offered by Roku... and an iPen that came with my Note 3 and didn’t even cost me $100.
Epic day.
But I guess that’s just FUD.
Yeah IIRC Amazon had the voice controlled TV Box for a year or more now...
Speaking from ignorance, could be corrected - does that pen have a variable effect based on the pressure you apply and the angle at which it touches the work surface? Looks to me more like a tool for artists than for me. Might seem cool in the same way that paint programs seemed cool in the old days.I suspect that the pro iPad might suit our lifestyle enough to be worth a look. Possibly including the physical keyboard . . .
Our iPad isnt retina, and the bigger display might be easier on the eyes.
Apple did not introduce an iPen. I watched the entire event and no such product was shown. They introduced the Apple Pencil, an electronic device that is nothing at all like the dead 25¢ stick that came with your Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Roku does the same thing as the new Apple TV. . . uh, right, sure:
Tell me, does the Roku download thousands of apps and games? Oh, wait, it has a few dozen, not the hundreds of thousands that can be played on the Apple TV from the iPad or iPhone and then more coming on its own tvOS when modified slightly to run on it natively. Here's a quote about games on Roku from Gadgeteer's review of Roku 3: "Just a note about the games: I dont think these Roku games are going to satisfy any hard-core gamers."
Here are a few other differences you don't seem to know about, bolobaby:
So do you want more? There are a lot more.
So, yes, bolobaby, you are just posting ignorant FUD.
