Re: New AppleTV and iPhone released today

That's kinda cool and exciting. Apple is pretty good about bringing to the masses what geeks can already do. This looks like a friendly packaging of a Tivo/MediaPC and SlingBox combo plus a proper mobile phone (like a Treo).

I'm still not sold on watching video "on the go". My Treo 700p already has SprintTV and a pocket video player and I rarely use it unless I'm just trying to kill time. So while cool, that feature just isn't necessary for me.

The cool thing about this is the on demand content. On demand is the only way to fly these days, but I'll take an original XBox running XboxMediaCenter and downloads via Bittorrent over paying for Apples DRM'd content anyday.
