Even with the refresh, Jobs isn’t convinced the new version will be a mainstream hit, says the person familiar with Apple’s plans. Most consumers aren’t ready to cut the cord to their cable company, or put up with the tech-nastics required to stream content from the iTunes collection on their PC to their living room big-screen TV. In other words, it’s a product that at best will delight some of the “hobbyists” that have always been interested in the product.
Apple a negociat cu marile retele de televiziune americane pentru a oferi clientilor show-uri tv la doar 99¢ bucata plus un device la 99$, insa avand in vedere atitudinea lui Steve Jobs fata de produs e posibil ca iTV sa fie un esec la fel de rasunator precum Apple TV. Nici nu prea inteleg de ce se baga Apple in astfel de tehnologii avand in vedere ca in momentul de fata iPhone/iPad-ul sunt produsele care ar trebui sa fie in centrul atentiei doar ele aduc cele mai mari venituri companiei.
