Apple has been driving iPod sales with music sales. We think that they will be driving some new device sales with movie sales. In addition, we do not think that movie downloads will go mainstream until it is convenient to view them on the best device: your home entertainment system. This is what Apple has been redying before launching movie downloads. Apple want the picture to be complete.]]>Sep 4th 2006 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/Sep 4th 2006 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://10layers.com/2006/09/apple-movie-downloads-soon-what-about-the-tv/]]>Sep 4th 2006 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/Sep 4th 2006 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/Sep 4th 2006 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/
Exactly. iTunes was created specifically to drive iPod sales. Apple makes relatively little profit on the songs they sell. It's always been about the hardware.]]>Sep 4th 2006 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/Sep 4th 2006 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/Sep 4th 2006 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/
I am thinking of a four letter word..... anyone have a guess?]]>Sep 4th 2006 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/
It's amazing to me how Apple so strongly influences people in fields they otherwise wouldn't care about. MP3 players were blah until Apple came up with the iPod--and overnight, MP3 players went from being geeks-only to being the gotta-have-it thing. Although it's nice having an MP3 player, I recently broke mine, and the switch back to my old CD player has been surprisingly pleasant.

Yet if it weren't for Apple, I'd never have bought an MP3 player in the first place, and millions of others would never have had worn the now-ubiquitous headphones, and we'd all be happy.

The same way, if these rumors are true, millions of poeple will suddenly need to have streaming audio in their houses, just like they needed MP3 players, just like they needed video-editing suites, and just like they needed colorful computers.

Apple is exceedingly good at convincing people they need stuff they don't, but I'm not falling for it this time. Keeping my TV and my PC separate is fine by me, primarily because I'd rather have a physical DVD or an actual CD than an iTunes-bought copy.

Call me a luddite, call me conservative, but the PC is not meant to be a part of my TV experience.]]>Sep 4th 2006 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/
Just return it man, if nothing new ends up coming out you can always get another one.]]>Sep 4th 2006 10:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/

If you read this same above story after the event, you will realise how much time you wasted believing in it...]]>Sep 5th 2006 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/"Cum" is Latin for "with."

It was an attempt to make my comment lighter. Still, I agree with you that using Latin words is *almost* never a good idea.
Oh, by the way, I think you meant "audacity." "Ordasidy" is not a word.
Later, man.

They were around before the iPod.

Innovation is not creating a home AV-streaming device. They exist already.

I'm not denying that Apple is innovative, because they are, and their quality and customer service are outstanding. But Apple is great at getting people to buy things that no other company can make people want, and it's not because the other companies aren't innovative.]]>Sep 5th 2006 1:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/Sep 5th 2006 3:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/Sep 5th 2006 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/Sep 5th 2006 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/
The interface wasn't innovative?
The click-wheel wasn't innovative?
using FireWire wasn't innovative?
Putting a rechargeable battery in standard wasn't innovative?

Apple's marketing helps but it isn't the main reason people bought iPods.]]>Sep 5th 2006 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/Sep 5th 2006 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/
I use the device at home to stream iTunes digital audio to my stereo and extend my wireless network via WDS. I also use it when I travel to create a wireless network in the hotel room. How handy is that?

I do not think that adding wireless video streaming to a device like the Airport Express will be that valuable or innovative unless it is in an HDTV format. You can buy other devices today for standard wireless video streaming.]]>Nov 2nd 2007 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/04/todays-apple-rumor-home-video-streaming-device-on-the-12th/
Who in the world wants to buy movies for an iPod? No one wanted them for the PSP which was 1000x cooler than any iPod Apple will ever put out.... oh and if you want to attach a device to your TV to watch movies you download from the internet there are and will always be better options than any portable device...

Why do Apple freaks think its some new revolutionary and innovate idea to have a video iPod? Companies have been making devices that play MANY MANY more media types for YEARS!!!! Almost EVER DAP on the market today will play video in tons of different formats... All your going to get from Apple is a DRMed up MPEG 4...

Have fun... ]]>Sep 12th 2006 9:34AM
