Apple TV ist kein „Hobby“ mehr

Apple TV ist kein "Hobby" mehr sondern eine vollwertige Produktlinie:

Not only does the Apple TV now have its own section, but it now has promoted and dedicated accessory, AppleCare, refurbished, and community question/answer sections.

Of course, the timing of the Apple TV’s “graduation” is interesting. Last week, we reported that Apple is working on a new version of the Apple TV set-top-box that will integrate new content (such as apps).

If Apple were to launch such a product in the near-future, it would make sense for it to have a dedicated, unhidden spot on Apple’s online store. And, based on what we’re hearing, the new Apple TV will certainly deserve to be called more than a “hobby.”

Apple TV, Roku und vielleicht bald die neue Amazon-Settop-Box sind die technische Grundlage für Netflix, Watchever und co.

Tatsächlich klingt das, was das künftige Apple TV ausmachen könnte, nicht unähnlich dem, was Amazon ebenfalls machen wird:

We’re also told that the new Apple TV will likely feature a focus on gaming, and this lines up with a recent iLounge report. We’re led to believe that the game integration will utilize existing iPads, iPhones, and iPod touches as controllers. It’s likely that there, too, will be some integration with Apple’s physical controller MFi program.
