I haven't seen anything on the system to suggest that. It's the 360 with a web browser and HDMI-in.

I guess you and I have different definitions of groundbreaking.

Before touchscreen smartphones, things like internet surfing, gaming, etc. was extremely limited and/or annoying with buttons. Smartphones allowed for the ease of use of features which were otherwise a burden. Not only that, but the progressing technology also allowed for features/apps that were otherwise practically impossible. So I can see how the accessibility of touchscreens and the rapidly improving technology has been groundbreaking in the smartphone industry. Smartphones made things accessible that weren't accessibile. And they made things possible that weren't possible. And most importantly, these were for things that people wanted.

I'm not seeing similar grounds being broken with Xbone, primarily because I don't believe people want to do those things you listed. It seems like you're placing far too much emphasis on people's urge to multi-task. Moreover, some of those examples you listed are already possible and probably in more desired formats. For example, I can't see why anyone would want to skype and watch a basketball game on the same monitor when they could watch the game on their TV and skype on their laptop or tablet.

Again, smartphones made desirable features accessible that weren't accessibile, and they made desirable features possible that weren't possible. The Xbone provides features that aren't nearly as extremely desired, and many of the ones that are desired are already quite accessible. Much of the Xbone's appeal doesn't appear to be actually new features or even to make existing features more accessible; but rather, it provides the ability to perform many features simultaneously. I would say most people aren't so eager to do that.

For example, I can't see why anyone would want to skype and watch a basketball game on the same monitor when they could watch the game on their TV and skype on their laptop, tablet, etc. This is something that's already possible and accessible, so the enjoyment gain from the XBone isn't that great, if it exists at all. Mostly everything else is either (a) already possible and accessible, or (b) not desired enough for it to be groundbreaking. The only example you listed that I see as actually desirable is the ability to get invites while watching TV, which isn't something I would call groundbreaking.

Yes built in batteries is what "all in one" means to me.  You caught me.

Are you being serious right now? I cannot imagine anyone who actually wants to divide their time between a drama series like Game of Thrones while also keeping up with a basketball game. 

And I'm willing to bet that tactile controls will always be more desired than voice control in any setting where the user's hands are free.

Guess you do everthing alone. My family for instance. My sister moved to Arkansas a few years back. She loves to watch Bears games with her nephews.  Well now with Skype we can Skype in her house in and can watch the game together. Yes we could have a laptop up and be looking at it while the game is on. Except the laptop is on my lap and the game is on the screen on the wall. So you are looking at one instead of the other.  But also we are watching together as a group rather than 1 of us on a laptop chatting with her during the game. 

iphone took off because it was the first of its kind with a large touch screen display, it was stylish, fancy and has a wow factor to it. The ipod was already immensely popular at that time, iphone combined the media capability like music, video, web browsing with functionality of a phone by getting rid of all the hessels like physical buttons. Steve job actually directly confronted blackberry and nokia in his presentation:

Like I said, give me a list of things very practical and innovative that x1 does and ps4 or smart tvs don't.

Yes, I'm forever alone.

Anyway, the only difference here is that instead of turning your head 45 degrees, you can now see the other party in a small corner on the screen (or however it works). So Xbone in this instance prevents the user from having to move their head. Do you consider that groundbreaking?

Also, why can't you skype as a group if everyone has a laptop? (I'm not sure how skype works). 

So you 100% answered the way I wanted you to.  It was never about the capabilities. The iPhone wasnt a better phone. It was a crappy phone. It was the interface.  Lets face it the PS4 and Smart TVs interfaces are crap.    MS is going the exact same route that Apple took with the iPhone. They are building the better interface.  The Windows Mobile phone I had when the iPhone came out did everything the iPhone did and I could put apps and build apps for it.  Back then you couldnt even do that with the iPhone.  It was the interface that mattered.

Well, it´s too early to tell, but from what I´ve seen the UI and integration with it is REALLY impressive and will be a new way to interact with your TV for alot of people.
