Because this\u2019ll be too long for a tweet…<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t really care that much about iPods since I own an iPhone 4 already. Bummer to see the Classic go, though, as it\u2019s nice to actually have enough storage space for all your music. I keep one in the car for this reason.<\/p>\n
New versions of iOS look good. HDR photos are interesting, we\u2019ll see how that actually plays out.<\/p>\n
Bad<\/strong> Good<\/strong> And then there\u2019s the unknowns created by this. For instance, the status of the Apple TV I currently own is now in question. Will Apple continue to support it? Do I get Netflix on it now? 99-cent shows? Some information on this would be nice, and while this is not the thing you expect to hear in a keynote, I would like to know this stuff.<\/p>\n Next unknown: what\u2019s actually running on the new Apple TV? Is it iOS or MacOS? I\u2019m pretty sure my existing AppleTV run MacOS underneath. If the new one runs iOS, where are the apps? If not, will it still be as dog-slow as the current one?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Because this\u2019ll be too long for a tweet… I don\u2019t really care that much about iPods since I own an iPhone 4 already.

\n\u2022\u00a0Streaming only. WTF? One of the things I dislike about my current AppleTV is that my computer has to be on and awake for people in the house to watch movies that we already own. Solved with aTV Flash<\/a> and an external hard disk, but I suspect it\u2019ll be a while before the new Apple TV is hacked to match that, if at all.
\n\u2022 Same stupid-simple remote.
\n\u2022\u00a0No apps? Apple just released a device that cannot connect to the App Store revenue stream? Really? Weird.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022\u00a0Netflix
\n\u2022 Support for 30fps 720p. You know, like what a Flip or even an iPhone 4 produce, that a current Apple TV cannot play.
\n\u2022\u00a099 cent TV show rentals. Top Gear in HD, right? Right?
\n\u2022\u00a0Unit price. Even with the obvious flaws, for $100 I might get one anyway.<\/p>\n
