    Competition is indeed good.

    I have purchased my last Garmin product.

    Hotels will not stand for this. They want you to pay for that entertainment system. I've seen HDTV's installed and locked into the wall to cover the HDMI (and other) ports. And you can bet their proprietary software will block anything else.

    I don’t care about estimates of cost to build the headset. I am only interested in how much it will cost to buy one and the level of functionality it will provide. 

    So far none of the VR/AR product out there provide any real benefit for the “average user”. We will see how Apple does with this. 
    "We will see" is pretty accurate. I'm not enthusiastic about this product. Based on the rumors at comparable points in time, I was exactly the opposite on the iPad and Apple Watch. 

    I don't want a headset. I want an Airport. If Apple announced a comparable mesh system with a built in VPN, I'd pay $1000 and sign up for a $50/yr VPN from them. 
    I’m completely with you on this. In my dream scenario, they would add AirPort technology to HomePods and Apple TV’s, giving them extra value as mesh satellites and only requiring a new base station to tie everything together. 
    In a perfect world, this and the new AppleTV has a coax cable on it to feed internal OTA ATSC 3.0 next gen tuners. But that is not ever happening.
