Apple rolled out new iPods and a movie store today. These are nice and are an incremental step. I was hoping for widescreen iPod (so I can ditch my PSP) and HD resolutions. No on both of those. The thing that has me most interested is the iTV device. It’s the extension I’ve been wanting for some time. I use a Core Solo Mac Mini right now but it frankly isn’t a good fit for the living room. Initially, I think the iTV will be very close to what I want. The form factor is right. The streaming of content I may already have in iTunes is good. The price is a bit high for what it will do. Is TV about to fundamentally change? I like the idea of real on-demand TV - download it instead of scheduling a TV to record it when the TV gods decide I can watch it. As much as I love the Apple service though, I am uncomfortable with having a single source. The day must be coming where distribution will open up.
