Apple TV Short Review: Analysis of a New A5
- eob 14y agoIf you de-focus your eyes from the TV part of AppleTV, Apple is developing an interesting competency in making "pucks" to bring devices around your house into the fold of computer management/interaction: With AppleTV they've done TVs. With AirPort they've done printers and speakers. With TimeMachine they've done remote storage devices.. As the size of the devices shrink, I imagine there will eventually just be a small Apple hockey puck that will endow any device it's connected to with the ability to be managed by your computer.

I wouldn't mind a washing machine I could program with my phone and monitor progress of a laundry load remotely. ;) Rumor seems to imply that some type of watch-replacement is next up though.
