Ask HN: what if it's not a tablet

• johnrob 17y ago
  At this point I'm reasonably sure it's going to take the form of a tablet. But we still don't know what their target use cases will be... I'll throw one out that I haven't yet seen: The tablet will be the perfect remote for apple tv. Infact, apple tv could become moot as people simply plug a regular PC to their TV (which has now become a glorified monitor). With the ability to move a pointer and type freely, the notion of a set top box is now a thing of the past. You're free to surf the web, watch online tv, use iTunes, use bittorrent, etc... anything you can do on a PC is now available in the living room. What we currently call the desktop/PC is now the main form of video consumption. (I'm looking a few years down the road of course, these changes won't be instant).

  * iProd? (cattle roundup tool) I wonder if they'd go for iSpy for a spy camera. They've got a slogan already: "with my little eye".

      I like it... an "oh shit" button to complement my "easy" button.
