If Apple’s serious about the HTPC market, they ought to take the BILLION$ in cash they have onhand and start by acquiring – oh, say – TIVO outright! :)

I would just like an Apple TV that was a TV.

And iWeb Pro would be nice too.

OK and maybe iChat AV on the iPhone.

I wish they had more selections and better user experience. I love the lack of a monthly service fee... but AppleTV needs to step up the game to connect web with TV- it's poised to do so, but adoption is the biggest problem.... I don't know many other users of AppleTV.</p> I live on my AppleTV for YouTube viewing, and watching television shows and movies. I wish they had more selections and better user experience.
