The AppleTV is in need of a significant hardware improvement. It absolutely needs to be able to play 1080p movies. Anything short of this is a failure. Additionally, Apple needs to open up the USB port for local storage. I could care less about …

Dumping the distractions is definitely necessary. It's never a good idea to send mixed messages to customers. The problem is, who would trust Palm at this point? The went from their own proprietary OS that they let rot on the vine. Then, they ad…
