    Report: Apple Prepping Cheap, Cloud-Based Apple TV For War With Google

    Posted on May 28, 2010 | No Comments
    The idea of putting iPhone apps on the Apple TV has been something some of us have been thinking about since at least 2008, when the original App Store launched. When rumors were swirling about Google TV, it became an even better idea as the living room was likely to be a new battleground for Apple/Google. And with the unveiling of Google TV last week, it became clear that this would be a next major fight -- provided Apple started taking it seriously. Soon, they will be, if Engadget's sources are correct. The gadget blog says that a tip they've since confirmed with "a source very close to Apple" suggests that Apple has been working on the next version of the Apple TV. The goods according to them: it will be a very small box (smaller than the current one) with perhaps only outputs for power and TV-out cables. It will run on Apple's new A4 chip (the one found in the iPad and soon the new iPhone). It will still do 1080p video, but may have as little as 16GB of flash memory. That's because the thing will be based around streaming over the cloud (or from other computers in your home) rather than local storage. Most significantly, it will run the iPhone OS.

    Back in the olden days, Apple tried, just like most companies, to make a set-up box. Using Motorola chips and plenty of crazy ports, the iTV was the precursor to something like WebTV and used a Macintosh Quadra 605/LC475 processor and a crazy OS. It wasn’t a really DVR or video player, per se, but [...]

    The news is a bit aged but Boxee Beta is now on the Apple TV which means folks who updated to the latest ATV firmware can now get their media fix on. How do you get it? Hop over here, make a nice little patchstick, and rock out. Boxee has full instructions right here and here's our quick how-to.

    Patents patents patents! OK. Only two. Apple may be adding touch sensitive corners to the iPad’s bezel (not in its current incarnation, though) which may allow for hot corners. These would be identified by little flags that pop up on the screen. Next? A clever little hack that may add Wii-like functionality to the Apple TV [...]

    The iPad? What were they thinking? Didn't they consider the implications of people mocking the name? “How will Twitter react?” Doesn't Apple have a social media ninja on its payroll?

  • Apple TV could start offering unlimited TV shows for $30/month

    Apple TV could start offering unlimited TV shows for $30/month

    Posted on November 2, 2009 | No Comments
    Riddle me this: would you pay Apple $30 a month for unlimited access to TV, presumably coinciding with the actual network air time or shortly thereafter? Interesting, non? PKafka has talked to some industry execs who have been approached by Apple in preparation of just that sort of thing. You pay $30 and get TV - on demand. The Apple TV would ignore the DVR market completely, instead becoming a sort of subscription-based cable TV service.

  • Update: Downgrading to 2.4 is the best way to get back Boxee and XMBC back on your Apple TV

    Update: Downgrading to 2.4 is the best way to get back Boxee and XMBC back on your Apple TV

    Posted on October 31, 2009 | No Comments
    To repeat, do not upgrade your Apple TV to 3.0 if you're running hacked ATV plugins like XBox Media Center or Boxee. I'm sure this will be fixed in a matter of days - if not hours - but as of right now it means a ride on the Failboat to Sad Trombone Town. That's right: this update destroys the only thing that makes Apple TV usable and good. Also, as an added bonus, Apple TV firmware 3.0 is insignificant. It adds Internet radio to the package and improves the UI. It also adds Genius playlists. My cup, as they say, runneth over. UPDATE - Post has been update with instructions for downgrading to firmware 2.4.

    What’s next for some of the biggest gadgets of 2009?

    Posted on October 31, 2009 | No Comments
    It's time to put on the Swami hat and predict just what we have in store for 2010 and beyond. Considering all of the movement in the gadget world in the past few months, I'm fairly sure most of this going to be accurate. Given the current status of some of these technologies, it's hard to prognosticate very far out but there are a few things that have become apparent over the past year, especially the rise of Android and our expectations for the iPad. Without further ado... the envelope please: Apple TV -> 27-inch iMac -> Wall Mount for 27-inch iMac It's sad but true: Apple doesn't care about Apple TV. All the real brain power is going to the desktop and laptop and probably onto the iPad. They've made it clear with the 27-inch iMac that they can make a high-resolution screen and powerful computer inside of a case the thickness of a college textbook. Who needs a TV, let alone an Apple TV? The obvious conclusion here is that the 27-inch iMac becomes a real Apple TV. The Mac Mini already makes a great multi-media system and a quick update to FrontRow, now considered abandonware, may make it a great 10-foot interface.

    The new Apple TV firmware just dropped with Genius Mixes, iTunes LP data, and iTunes Extras. As you see this is a quite a departure from the original firmware. I’ll stick it on and report back how it feels. Interestingly, since I hacked 2.x, I don’t really want to do this update. If you guys [...]

    Apple TV only available in 160GB model now, price drops to $229

    Remember Apple TV? It’s still around, there’s just no 40GB version any more. Not that 40GB would hold too much content nowadays anyway, especially with all the HD video available on iTunes and elsewhere. Previously priced at $229 for the 40GB model and $329 for the 160GB model, Apple is now offering just the 160GB model at the old 40GB model’s price of $229.

    Once upon a time you dressed so fine, went out to the record store, and bought your albums. Those days are no more, although iTunes wants you to think otherwise. That’s why they added a few new features to add a little bit of that old record store attitude to the boring process of downloading [...]
