I have to wonder what percentage of the TV audience would see a flat piece of cardboard in someone's hand and think it to be an iPad? In the eyes of most, tablet = iPad, just like facial tissue = Kleenex. So what's the point of this headline?

Probably because Apple hardware is so overpriced. And by overpriced, I mean the hardware margins are very high because Apple appears to sell under-powered hardware (e.g., AppleTV, gen 2).

Apple really needs to do a better job with their initial hardware designs . It is obvious to me that the Apple fans really love whatever Apple releases but I, for one, have purchased a first-gen Apple hardware design, and I will never do it again.…

An upgraded Apple TV processor could allow for greatly expanded functionality with the set-top box, namely the ability to stream and play back true high-definition 1080p content. Currently, the Apple TV is restricted to 720p resolution for high-defi…

The major problem with Siri is that Apple can and does filter the requests that go to the search engines and the replies that come back from the search engines. If you ask something of which Apple does not approve, you do not get the unbiased, re…

Nice spin being placed upon a decline in demand for the iPad. It almost makes the decline sound like a good thing. The problem is, even if you believe the spin, it casts Apple in a bad light, i.e., they are not able to manage their parts inventory…

Based upon my experience with AppleTV gen 2, I'd never buy an Apple television. It would be a risk of thousands of dollars upon the gamble that Apple would put adequate hardware capability into the television. AppleTV gen 2 is underpowered, …

When Microsoft's Internet Explorer was the overwhelming market leader, Microsoft sat on its laurels and didn't improve IE for a long while. IE and its users suffered. Is Apple going to let the iPad atrophy just because it has no competition, or …

Why is this such a surprise to the so-called analysts? Didn't the world get a major clue when Apple dropped the word "computer" from the corporations official name?

The iPod I purchased in 2005 has no problem playing 48kHz sampling rate with 24 bit samples. What is not supported, and cannot be played, is the 96kHz sampling rate used in hi-resolution recordings. iTunes and AppleTV (1st gen) both can play bac…

What an awful way to celebrate the release of a new version of software. Is there no respect in Redmond than to take a deeply emotional tradition and use it for pure commercial gain?

I'd much rather have more quality apps, and less quantity. Additionally, the means to sift through all those apps is pretty poor.
