Webomatica: MacWorld Apple Rumor Round Up: 1/8/08

OTR Guy · 1 year ago

Didn't know if you had noticed it, but Netflix has now partnered with LG to make a streaming video box for use with their subscriptions. While TiVo can already do this with Amazon UNBOX, the rentals are not on a subscription basis.

Apple is ill prepared to tackle this market, and they should stick to movie purchases rather than rentals. RSJ should focus on next gen IPhones, and allow the AppleTV format to remain a hobby.

OTR guy, I think many agree with you regarding Apple's difficulty expanding Apple TV. Even for me, the Apple fan, unless the price is competitive with NetFlix it will be a difficult sell.
