Posted on 2007 under Apple news |28 Dec
Netflix is morphing into something very big. The apatosaurus was also very big. Seriously, though, the future of the movie business is hard to call. Continued success for TiVo seems unlikely; they are bleeding cash. Growth for Netflix is possible. Renting of High Def Blu Ray discs seems one way things could go (I think we all know HD DVD is a non-starter) The continued existance of AMZN UnBox and XBox Video seems extremely clouded.
UnBox does not support portable devices and XBox consoles are wholly unsuitable for movies due to noise issues. Thus, Apple TV MAY represent a decent compromise. Very high convenience factor, once set up. But not true HD, at this time due to bandwidth constraints.
