Apple TV

I&#8217;m actually not terribly excited about the new features they&#8217;ve added. The Netflix streaming and AirPlay are both great new features, as well as the ability to rent TV shows. However, the main reason I&#8217;m throwing down the cash for this piece of hardware is the features that are sure to come in the future.

I found this incredibly convincing and exciting video on YouTube which actually is a great example of the types of things we could do with the iSlate, even if this video isn&#8217;t real.
