I wish Apple would roll out a better UI for AppleTV soon. It has become quite cluttered.
According to Rene Ritchie's insiders (at iMore.com), Apple has already committed some of their best interface people to updating AppleTV. I suspect we'll see a very nice update this time 'round.
Nice job at trying to weasel out and change the subject.
YEAH. One city REALLY disproves me, given that every other one doesn’t. Shut up.
Not to mention it was the government in countries like Japan, South Korea, and many European countries that also pushed though FTTH and made that possible.

I have been called a lot of things but never undeveloped. So hats off for at least an original thought for once. In your black or white universe I suspect there are a lot of "undeveloped" people who see things a bit more grey which is an anthema to you.There can only be your view of how Apple should be perceived and the wrong way which is to say anyone's else views. Perhaps if you could learn not to be so confrontational, or sarcastic and stop using the ¡ symbol on nearly all your posts you might actually have something of value to add once in a blue moon. And stop quoting people all the time and just post your own thoughts for once. 90% of your posts seem to be quoting and attacking someone.
As I see it, the problems for Apple TV in the WORLD markets are not hardware but content, content, and content. I have an ATV here in Tokyo but there is hardly any content worth watching on it; no Netflix, Hulu is local Japanese stuff of little interest, and most of the sport channels don't play. My major use is with Plex using the PlexConnect Trailers hijack and watching Plex channels. If Apple is going to "own" the TV market outside the US, it needs to think about how to provide great CONTENT for international markets. Anything else, and ATV will remain a small niche US market. In this day and age, consumers should be able to watch any content from any TV channel in the world anytime.
He probably double posted. His user title is a joke and reflects nothing upon his ability or desire to moderate the forums.
I know (I didn't for a minute think Modal Garburator was a real title). And mine was a joke, too, though I did consider that just maybe his 'period' was in fact a comment. Subtle, but funny in itself. Instead of 'this', or 'what he said'.
I'd be happier if the Apple TV development team would focus on getting the ABC and Disney channels to actually work. I've yet to see anything more than the word "Accessing" and an endless spinner.
If it proves popular enough, you better believe Apple would jump at the opportunity to up charge customers $100/per model as it goes to 16, 32, 64, and 128 GB.
If an 8 GB AppleTV is $99...then it stands to reason that 16 GB would $199, and so on. At least, it stands to reason in Apple land where flash storage is apparently worth that much.
Lots of clever ideas, but how about we learn to walk before we try to run. Like being able to read content off a hard drive directly rather than requiring a computer to feed it content?
Roku is junk. Not just because I love Apple. Because I saw one once. A cohort of mine thought he was being smart and saving money by buying a Roku instead of a 3rd AppleTV for his house...he quickly found what a bad decision that was and returned the piece of junk.

You mean $100 premium, starting at 32 GB. Yes, I certainly hope so. But knowing Apple, for the $99 AppleTV to have all these new features an gain 16 GB of storage...would be a leap. But let's hope if that it is common sense for them to do so, with an App Store in the equation.
Making the 32 GB model $199, and a 64 GB $299, etc.

I own several, and they're by far not junk but you're entitled to your opinion and I respect that. The one thing you can't deny is that the Roku is one device that actually gives Apple some competition.

Oh Invisible Friend Who Lives In The Sky, please, not that again… that's one of the fundamental issues at the root of my Love/Hate relationship with Apple. Paying $200 for a few bucks worth of low-end NAND Flash is infuriating.
Is that 'end of discussion'? Now that you have become a Mogul Gaberator (even if self appointed) I am guessing you are qualified to finalize threads as you see fit?
SolipsismX is trying to cut down to 2 postings per thread. The moment he posted for the 3rd time on this thread, he realised and quickly cut back. That's why he hasn't clarified anything.
He may link to this thread on another one and clarify it if he has nothing to say on the other one!

‘Kay.
Apple TV will need to surpass Roku first.

In what way?

I dont think so, more like 100$ per 32g

How so? Sales volume? Popularity? Capability?
