| Slimebeast said: I hate that Apple are so dominant and their fans so elitistic. Their dominance doesn't give enough room for everybody else. If they release iTV they're going to dominate the market and even Xbox TV might become an insignificant player. Hopefully I am wrong. I buy your competition argument though. It's just sometimes hard to immediately see the advantages that come from competition. |
I don't see Apple dominating the television space. I think they'll carve out a nice corner of the market for themselves and spur everyone else into action but the TV market isn't a new market they're creating like they did with tablets and, to an extent, smartphones.
In any case, I think they'll bring a lot of forward-thought to the market and finally create an environment that will cater to people like me. I have no interest in buying a cable package. I only watch a few network shows. What I want is an easy to use device that offers the content I want immediately at an affordable cost. Apple might be the only company in the world with the weight to get content providers to step in line and offer what the market wants instead of what they want the market to get.
