I think he's trying to say more or less: "boy, they sold 3 million of those without any kind of support for apps, imagine how many would they sell if they would run apps!".
That said, iPhone was selling like crazy even before 2.0, so I'm not sure whether that line of reasoning makes sense.
- kemiller 14y agoThere was plenty for iPhone to do without apps. Phone + web browser + email was pretty great. The Apple TV is ALL about content, there is very little point to it otherwise. Airplay, while awesome, is not going to sell devices in Peoria because it doesn't fit into an existing slot in people's lives. But if Apple has secured content deals that make the ATV a viable cable alternative, apps or no apps, they're really on to something.
- fpgeek 14y agoWith TV, in particular, it isn't that simple. Apple could easily wind up selling fewer Apple TVs by adding app support, not more - if they end up pissing off the content providers. Those providers have been known to be irrationally hypersensitive in the past after all.
