Apple TV without a hard drive, but with compatibility with the App Store, this either sounds contradictory to me, or like there's another storage medium it will take advantage of. I really hope it has local storage, I don't want to have to use up bandwidth within my walls, or on the cloud every time I want to watch something on it. I like the idea of the ability to stream content but don't want to have to all the time.
I was talking about CPUs, not GPUs. (But even when talking about GPUs, I haven't seen an Apple mobile device with an ATI/AMD chip for ... 4 years?, I think 2006 MBPs had ATI chips) Fusion still uses the current AMD Hammer architecture, which is why it can't be competitive. Intel has already released CPUs with integrated GPUs that have a MUCH better CPU-part than Fusion and all AMD can do is promote their better GPU. That won't cut it. Fusion will be for low-end, low-margin computers, something Apple doesn't sell and never will. By the way, Fusion has just been postponed...
As much as I'd like AMD to be a strong competition to Intel, right now they suck CPU-wise.
Full internet experience in ATV
not provided in any of the console yet PS3, xBox or WII (correct me if am wrong)

In elementary form...
You claim that if Bluray were to be included in the AppleTV, the PS3 would be given a death sentence.
Yet, because YOU only use it as a bluray player, I guess you don't see it for what it really is, a console?
The point is, its primary purpose is to play games, and because the Apple TV won't be doing this (at least high-caliber A+ titles), it just can't possibly ever bring a demise to the PS3.
Makes sense, right?
Good, class is over.
I don't understand what full internet experience means to you. You can most definitely browse the internet on the PS3, watch videos and check emails...
It wouldn't be a huge deal, definitely not something I'd even worry more than a few seconds about. I just love how sleek the current design is, and I feel like it would be a small step backwards.
Whaaaaa? Dude they're selling like hotcakes. I don't know many people in NYC who don't have one.
A "streaming only" Apple TV is a deal breaker. In the US our connections are way too slow for that. If I try to rent an HD movie after 7PM I might as well forget it. It takes about 3 or 4 hours to download.
iPhone was released in June of 2007 and updated in February of 2008.
As far as patterns go (see above), first generation products see revisions in less than your allotted year, and then stick to the revised time frame. This'll stick with the iPad as well, as we all know (besides you and your friend).
You can't really state this when you don't even know what a revised metal back would look like. Just using the iPad, that aluminum back is significantly stronger and resistant than the iPhone's glass back. This aluminum Macbook I have, absolutely no scratches, except for two on the bottom.
Glass however, scratches, no matter how chemically enhanced it is. A metal back would be a step forward.
I would love to see an Apple TV with IOS, use an iPhone/iPad/Touch as a remote, or a Wii style remote...and have a HD so that it can be my home media server.
I would like it to also have a blu-ray player, since that would then eliminate my current blu-ray that I also use for NetFlix, Pandorra etc...it WOULD be nice if it had some sort of sling box functionality with a remote application for iOS and can control a set top box..or have built in tuner and have Cable Card compatibility. It should also have a USB port for external HD, if they don't want to include the HD in the unit.
This would greatly allow me to simplify my set-up and have one device for everything, but I don't think we will see that...that would make too much sense, but that would be my dream box.

That's good to know, as I am interested in note taking.
By the way, are you going to change your name to Torosaurus?
(the rest of you will have to look that up)
A 7" iPad huh? The iPad itself already has a problem with finding it's niche. Never mind a 7" version. To top it all off, a Verizon iPhone huh? Hasn't that been brought up every year since the iPhone has been out? Lol. I guess if you keep talking about it and wishing hard enough it may eventually come true?
Yeah, they're not selling any of those iPad things.
I understand what you're saying. But you also can't really say that it will definitely be better, as a lot of it is pure opinion. I personally prefer the glass. You prefer the aluminum. To each his own.
really hope to see an updated ipad with a front facing cam, i will definitely buy if that comes out next year
AMD's Fusion uses ATI 4000/5000 GPU. Expect PS3/360 quality graphics.
Makes sense. But $99 for just streaming, $199 with 160GB could be possible. It might be like Xbox360s pricing model.
