iTV? I'll pass and stick with what works for me.

Apple continues to innovate; and I predict within minutes of seeing it we will all do a “Face palm” and say “Why didn’t I think of that”.

Personally, what I would LOVE to see is being able to buy subscriptions only to the TV channels I have an interest in watching. I’m not a sports fan - and I hate subsidizing the channels I have no intention of ever watching. Just give me Discovery, Scify, Comedy Central, AMC, Foxnews and the locals - cut my bill by 75% and I’ll be a happy camper.

Started reading the "Steve Jobs" book last night, and it is a fascinating read. It mentions he met Maya Lin at a 1983 design conference, where they were each giving separate speeches. (Maya Lin designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial dedicated the previous year). This excerpt is from Isaacson's book:

She asked Steve Jobs "Why do computers look like clunky TV sets? Why don't you make something thin? Why not a flat laptop?" Jobs replied that this was his goal, as soon as the technology was ready.

Imagine that, 28 years ago he was working towards this goal. The iMac, iPhone, iTouch, iPad and Apple TV are stepping stones that brought him closer to that goal. I have the latest Apple TV connected to my HD TV, works great but I am looking forward to an all-in-one solution.

icloud = monthly fee.

this is more jobs ego talk.

Essentially this is icloud instead of DVR and a flat screen with voice command.
