It seems that Apple bet a lot on the TV in the past few release cycles, but that the cable/network execs derailed that plan. In the bay area there were a bunch of Apple TV billboards put up, only to hear within a week that Apple was "frustrated with negotiations over its TV service[1]. There seemed to have been big launch plans that were shelved when Apple couldn't pull all the content producers on board for a grand debut. Seems Apple didn't quite get their way this round, and as a result there are a lot of stale products out there.
