| Mr Puggsly said: I fail to see how Apple TV was a test run. Its been on the market for about 5 years and competes. Its one of few Apple products that's actually competitively priced. Apple's success primarily comes from their mobile devices and you can't really say those are crushing competition anymore. Hence, I'm reluctant to believe Apple can crush anything. |
From the beginning, Apple has referred to AppleTV as a "hobby". It has sold moderately well but you could always tell they weren't really taking the device seriously.
Now we're hearing about them working on TVs and set top boxes with Siri integration, app support, and other features geared at changing the television market. We've haven't seen Apple put any real effort into televisions yet. I think it's absurd to say they'll "crush" anything but it's also fair to acknowledge that they haven't really put any effort into it yet, either.
