Apple TV – Why Half Baked ?
Is Apple TV a Dud ? That’s the premise of the Fortune article, and the subject of a number of comments that you’ve probably seen.
Here’s the puzzle. As clever as Steve Jobs has been – why would he have left things with the obvious holes that appear to be in the product at the moment ?
For example, structuring the product for interface with flat-screen TV’s, and then not providing a quick and seamless way to get HD content into the box. Or making it impossible to order new content directly from the Apple TV interface, instead requiring an order from the iTunes Music Store to be entered from a networked computer.
Today’s iTunes announcement adds further mystery. There’s no doubt that from a video quality standpoint there’s a good match.
What’s behind this move ? I bet that not all the pieces are in play. Yet.
