IMHO, LP and Extras are establishing a format for the itablet not for Apple TV. Magazines will be reformatting to it to distribute their media rich content. iTablet will be the universal, portable, media appliance for all present media. The format needed to be standardized for the itablet and evidence is mounting that such is the case.

Great article. It’s exciting to think about where AppleTV is headed!

I bought my first iTunes LP album this week. It’s a nice change to see how much content is included with digital downloads now. I know the AppleTV is more of playing content, but is there a way for inputing as well? Such as inputing audio to transform the AppleTV into an iTunes LP/GarageBand-esque karaoke hub. This all might be unrealistic, but it would increase the edge Apple has if the iPhone/iPod Touch could be a portable user ID used for more than just syncing Nike+ stats if friends can keep the Mac personal and the AppleTV in the general gathering place or in a public area.

I think itunes movie extra is a really cool and unexpected feature released with itunes 9. I have been waiting for a single file format that would be able to associate menus and multiple video tracks. I am one of those who buys the special editions of a lot of dvds because I enjoy the extras as much as the film. I have held off from converting my movies into a specific multimedia container because of the limitations of streaming multiple video tracks in an organized fashion. This new feature may just make me an apple tv investor. My only criticism may be that apple could do some sort of agreement with studios so that you are able to freely download or bundle a digital copy of films that are bought through removable media. I am the type of person that still likes to have that hard copy even it means sticking it in a baox in my attic.

I love my 2 AppleTV’s. I just would like them to add Netflix Instant watch to it. Netflix has released an SDK for it. But I bet it’s because it requires MS’s Silverlight and Apple wouldn’t want that on there. Well then, let’s see, how about Apple compete with Netflix and stream many of their movies for a monthly fee. I’d drop Netflix for that!

I dig this strategy! Make worthwhile stuff available in abundance (this includes providing the tools to do so) and consumers will come. It doesn’t have to be top-notch Blu-Ray quality (though it would be nice) as long as it’s good enough. VHS killed Beta in USA because there were more titles worth watching in that format – VHS image quality is not as good as Beta but it did the job! I pointedly use the word “consumers” above because it is they who vote with their dollars determining which companies and products win and survive… or die and fade into oblivion.

I hope you’re right about TuneKit extinguishing Flash and especially Silverlight. The world does not need yet another hollow Microsoft product lacking innovation. I say let’s pare down and simplify into basic, well-designed systems instead of pooping out more monstrous add-on code that probably opens up security vulnerabilities! Microsoft sucks at addressing security. I don’t trust them.

Even as digital distribution gained momentum I still clung to optical discs. I simply found it reassuring to have a durable, physical item in my possession in case of system failure (hard drive crash, mobile media player dropped in toilet, etc.). But with DRM marginalized and therefore knowing my programming is stored in two places (or more) I would embrace the disc-less distribution system that this article suggests is on the horizon.

Exciting times!!!
