“If there’s one company that could redefine the user experience in the living room, what company would that be?” Christina Medici Scolaro reports for CNBC. “Angelo Zino, senior industry analyst at S&P Capital IQ and SNL, said if any company can do it, it’s Apple.”
“CEO Tim Cook on Monday told an audience at an event hosted by The Wall Street Journal, that Apple will become the ‘foundation” of TV,’ Scolaro reports. “Said Zino: ‘Overall the new hardware and operating system, on both ends, it appears that they’re doing a great job with initial efforts. This is just the start of better things to come.'”
Scolaro reports, “‘Siri capabilities overall will help the user experience, and on the operating side, Apple has the best app developers in the world. So expect great apps in the living room,’ Zino said.”

What size are you going to get?
I haven’t made up my mind.
Bigger is safer. Then if you end up using all your space you won’t be considering an upgrade after the fact. But then again I’m the guy that gets the 128GB iPad AND the 128GB iPhone.
OT: I had the 128GB iPhone last year. This year I got the 64GB… I never went over 64, since I started my anti-hordeing mission.
ATV: I am such a casual gamer, I wonder if a larger drive even makes sense. I don’t think we will be able to cache shows anyway, which would be the reason to have larger capacity for me. One thing is for sure, I will be happy to get rid of the Wii.
Yep a no-brainer. Always get the largest amount of storage and you won’t regret it.
From a three to four legged stool
64GB for $199 seems right.🔜📺📡📲‼️⁉️
I’m there!
Too expensive and locked down for me! I’ll wait to see what it can do first.
Why wait, go get an Amazon TV or Google TV which are both vying for your attention and no doubt will be watching your every move!
Yeah, they are in a hurry to sell a few units before the roadkill starts.
and as a bonus, they will continue to sell YOU long after apple releases a secure, private ecosystem on the apple tv
I will be replacing the four AppleTVs in my home as soon as it is released. My family use their AppleTVs every day.
Been a cable cutter on the 2nd Gen for years now. Dying to upgrade!! Will probably get the 64G as I’m hoping it will replace the kid’s long in the tooth Wii as well.
We don’t even have a TV in our house, but I’m still planning to get an Apple TV if it delivers the home automation features that I am expecting.
definitely
Unless I can order up individual channels from whatever network or source, then nothing in the tv world is really any different.

Do we get to delete – not hide- apps we do not want.
I want a Murdoch Free experience. Not cool with supporting propaganda.
Yes, but will the content be worth paying for?
