Apple TV...Star Date 4.1...
It's updating right now. Kind of exciting really. It's something Apple have really got right isn't it, free software updates. In the olden days when phones had reliable batteries and actually made phone calls, it was a case of putting up with the phone you had for the duration of your contract. Nowadays our devices are updated fairly regularly to satisfy the insatiable hunger of us consumers. Oh, and to compete with the other platforms of course. I don't know about you but I'd certainly consider one of those Googledroid phones if Apple wasn't around. They're looking pretty tasty nowadays. Sorry, I digress.
I've had the Apple TV for a little while. And before you start shouting 'Apple-whore' over your glass of Chateauneuf-Du-Pape, I readily admit it's something I wanted rather than needed. I love the interface, it's so easy to navigate, although the remote does interfere with the MacBook, so I find A-Ha starts playing when I switch it on. The internet section is good, although I would like to see the inclusion of a streaming service here in the UK. We don't get Netflix like you brothers and sisters over the pond. The streaming from other computers is, as they say in the Bridworks naming department, 'awesome', and I'm guessing in about ten minutes time I'll be able to stream video straight from my iPhone.
Wow. Hasn't technology come a long way. If you'd told me five years ago that I would be able to shoot HD video on my phone and send directly and immediately to my TV, I would have probably accused you of watching too much Star Trek and called you an ambulance.
