    My prediction: WS Video iPod

    My hope: Apple Media Center

    Well, if they *don't* have widescreen video iPods, Mr. Jobs will be lucky to get out of there alive.

    When I saw the "It's Showtime" subtitle, I got all excited. I've wanted a Windows Media Center killer for a long time. Windows Media Center has so much potential but just falls short in every way possible. I can't wait for the day when you buy a computer instead of a TV. Or better yet, TV's aren't sold anymore.
  • BergamotBergamot
    Even if they do end up with some kind of media center, it won't have a TV Tuner.
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    I realize that. But every step counts.
  • BergamotBergamot
    This is looking pretty pathetic.

    So far, yeah. Show me something awesome.
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    Hahaha - gizmodo and engadget are buckling under the pressure. LOL.

    That'll teach them to not have a lightweight ajax newsfeed.

    Cheap smaller nanos (though imo they looked better before) and longer battery lives across the board. Anything else?

    A couple of nice new features in iTunes.

    And yeah, the new nanos are pretty fugly.
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    New iTunes. Available sometime today. Brighter screens on video ipods. Different navigation of music library available on ipods. Nothing too huge. The latest thing: you can download movies from itunes store for 12.99 when new or 9.99 after two weeks. like. wow. *pfffft*

    Good luck burning them to dvd, or playing them outside of itunes though.

    EDIT: right as I said that, he announced the streaming box thing.

    wooha! I knew it! I get to look smart in front of my friends who could give a shit one way or another! Until I own one.... Then they get intrigued.

    If it's still running b then it's utterly pointless. Even g wont cope with a proper HD feed in real time will it? Looks pretty sexy though. Shame it's literally just a thin client.
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    That's my concern, mini. Exactly.

    The signal is DVD quality; 480p tops. If they can stream a full movie over the internet in 30 minutes, they can stream it over a local wireless connection in less time.
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    So what's the HDMI output for? It should be running atleast 1080.
