Why Apple TV Just Became Apple’s Most Important Product
The Apple TV has slowly been becoming the ultimate accesory for the iPhone or iPad, as a way to simple toss what you are looking at on your device over to the big screen.
But Gizmodo is speculating it’s about to get a whole lot cooler, and I am having a hard time arguing the point.
What if that $99 black box could also have apps?
Personally I invested in the Roku a few years ago, because it did more than the Apple TV, but I have been jonesing to use Airplay video from my ipad for a while and have almost picked up an Apple TV just for that. If the Apple TV also had apps…
I would be unable to resist.
