So what are those of us that have no interest in photography, TV and movies going to do with these all in one apple TV things then?
I had a house full of ''young people'' over the weekend, as in my son's arrived with assorted mates, girlfriends etc. The most common comment was how nice to have a living room without a TV, and how good even my modest vinyl set up sounds. Oddly enough, out of the 8 of them, only one had an I-Pod, and it seems that is because he is an ''apple fanboy', the others either, to quote them, avoiding them like the plague, or chose something other than apple product. To paraphrase my elder son's comment, apple fans are worse than Naim sheep.
The products discussed on this message board my well be statistically insignificant, as I assume are the sales of volvo rag top cars, real beer's etc, but they continue to sell, keep people employed making them, and presumably make a profit for the makers.
Mass market never has, and never will, mean best, well unless you believe the hype of the marketers that want you to believe them
