When does everyone think they are going to update the Apple TV again, cause I think they could improve them for the holiday season. I hope they will update it before the holiday cause I am interested.
So tell me your thoughts!
My thoughts are realistic, tempered by Apple's staff-on-hand, number of products that need attention, and the fact that they are a public company with a responsibility to their shareholders (NOT their product owners), and that responsibility it to make more $ to make Apple more profitable.
Without discussing the merits of the common theme that runs through their
current business strategy, it is clear that detrimental bugs, those faults in the programming, that cause a product to be not what was advertised, are fixed, and quickly. These updates happen regularly.
When a product is stabile and requires no bug fixes, typically, the only update it receives is to provide the user with an opportunity to spend more money with Apple. With the iPhone, the first two updates (not including bug fixes) were to provide the owners with 2 new ways to spend money: ringtones; and the WIFI ITMS.
So, my guess, for the little it's worth besides seeing a clear path in their corporate growth, is to say that sometime in the near future, one of two things is going to happen:
- The ITMS will become available for couch-potato purchases.
OR
- Nothing.
My
guess is that we will see some interaction with WIFI ITMS in some shape or form, as soon as The Steve is done with his European Conquest.

Tv's are nothing more then a "hobby" to Steve and the crew, I don't see much in the way of upgrades any time soon.
