Sort of like the Apple Pencil debacle just last year. Device shown, support grows, interest develops, wallets open and...no show.

Tim Cook's apple.

I pretty much lost all interest in Airpods 

Cool! I'll get yours then!

Every study I've read about speed reading indicates that claims of retention with high reading rates are, shall we say, unfounded.
"If there are no pauses in the stream of words, there isn’t enough time to process them and they fall out of the working memory before they're comprehended."

I'd use paper cups and string before I'd sign any contract with Comcast. Wonder what they raise the price to after a year.

I'd like them to offer Sapphire glass with the aluminum body.

I've been using a Fire TV on my UHD tv until Apple TV starts supporting 4k (hopefully next month.)
My bottom line is that, as one who enjoys being in the iOS world, I can't wait to dump the Fire TV and get back to Apple TV. Lost of Airplay alone is killing me at the moment.
Add to that that the Fire TV's interface is (at least for me) markedly inferior. In general, getting back to 'where you left off' is a major pain.
Can't wait for next month.

Sad, but the reality is that most schools will use what is the cheapest, not the best.  My nephews use Chromebooks in school and it just pains me to see the frustrations in their faces when those cheap pieces of junk act up.  

The advantage to a ChromeBook is that if it acts up, toss it out and unpack a new one, and your're up and running in 5 minutes. 

Makes sense for families, maybe not so much for individuals or couples.

No Smart Connector, no deal.
