Exactly! it´s a TELEVISION-SET + all the functionalties of the full blown Mac OS X inside. Browsing would be done by the 3G iPhone as it will become the new mouse/remote.

If Charlie can´t se possibillities here… He´s nuts!

I’d buy one, or two, or three, and maybe buy one for the office, and maybe a smaller one for the kitchen, and maybe one for the bathroom actually, and my bedroom for sure, and the basement… oh yeah baby ! Every room in the house !

Blu-Ray player is in the dock at the bottom. At least I’m assuming that’s what it is. I mean, it looks like a loading cd tray. As for the all caps… you calling this so stupid got me heated.

As i see it, this isn’t a tv recorder, it’s an actual set-top box replacement, with blu-ray, real itunes, a slick interface, firefox, email integration. I mean, come on !

Where was the bluray player?

I’m pretty sure I just saw a spinning tour of OS X with “The Office” in the middle. And Firefox, for some reason.

Also, kudos on the all caps.

Ronald, while we appreciate your input. Please try to swear less. And by using all CAPS we are assuming you’re yelling. (just to let you know)

I have digital cable with an all inclusive package, HD,DVR, everything. AND THE INTERFACE ABSOLUTELY SUCKS !!!!!! Apple should get their hands on that interface. They haven’t done it now. I don’t know anyone who uses their Apple as an exclusive TV set. They all have FLATSCREEN TV’S !!!! I think the interface concept is something that should be noticed here too. Keyboard is probably wireless, or they’re using an iPhone or iPod Touch !!!!!

I watched the video again just to make sure I wasn’t judging too harshly.

Nope. It’s still stupid. I guess it’s just an iMac with a built-in Elgato EyeTV. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. “Look at it beautifully browse Firefox with a sweet techno soundtrack…now…look at it beautifully browse iTunes with a sweet techno soundtrack…now…TV…with a sweet techno soundtrack.”

So stupid.

What is so amazing about this? It’s a Mac that also plays TV shows? I don’t get it. Macs already do this.

This device offers nothing, repeat: NOTHING new. It’s a dumb looking iMac. Alternatively, it’s a dumb looking (and probably way overpriced) AppleTV.

How is this user typing into the browser? is there a keyboard connected to this? Mouse? If so, then once again…IT’S JUST AN IMAC.

I’m open to concepts, but this is just stupid.
