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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
at the same time the apple tv has a USB interface nobody really understands so far.<\/p>\n
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! <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
now that would be COOL! (and i think that’s what it is…)<\/p>\n
