interesting, i will try to follow this…

If you want to get more done, be mindful.
If you want to have more time, be mindful.
Mindful means one thing at a time.

my thoughts on apple tv

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

food for thought and discussion: if the apple tv is nothing but a stationary ipod (which basically steve jobs said during his keynote), then i wonder where the dock connector is.

well, you might say, it doesn’t need one as it is always connected. correct, i respond, but the ipod’s dock connector is not only used for syncing and connecting it to your computer is primarily used by heards of people to connect the ipod to a myriad of third party tools/gadgets etc.

at the same time the apple tv has a USB interface nobody really understands so far.

so here’s a thought: has anybody ever considered that this usb interface could be a “dock connector” in disguise? if so, it would mean that third party devices could be connected to the apple tv!

just a couple of ideas spring to mind: DVR (digital video recorder), direct camera connection, video conferencing system, karaoke systems (not my favorite), stream music to other stereos in the house, etc. etc. etc.

now that would be COOL! (and i think that’s what it is…)

(remember: my track record with predicting these kind of things hasn’t been all that bad… ;-))
