I always thought Apple TV was that mythical "failed Apple product."
I admit to being a big Apple fan, so certainly I am biased. But Apple has a knack for shaking things up and a great track record of doing it. I will admit I've held off on buying a netbook because I want to see Apple's response to them first. I don't mean I will necessarily buy their response, but I am confident their response will change the scenery a lot.
- borism 17y agoApple TV is indeed like Google Wave in that everybody talked about it but noone cared. Tapplet on the other hand is the (hypothetical) product that everyone is talking about and many people care. If Apple fails to meet expectations on this one it will be an epic FAIL. (my personal opinion is that they're indeed bound to disappoint, as almost everyone have had so many differing expectations about this device that meeting those is impossible, and most probably it will just turn out to be iPhone/iPod touch with a bigger screen - zero novelty)
- city41 17y agoI disagree. The iPhone is a great example. It really did disappoint on a lot of levels: AT&T only, no multitasking, the draconian app approval process, still no multimedia SMS (this one boggles my mind), etc. But overall, it's been a huge success and threw the entire industry for a loop. I'm thinking the maclet will do about the same thing.
