This morning I speculated that Apple TV would not get a major update. Although it did not get the DVR features I most desire, the licensing for iTunes-based movie rentals from something like 10 more studios today is pretty big news. I’m frankly very surprised. Many sources predicted that the studios would not work with Apple this way out of fear that they would be handing Steve the keys to the kingdom, and I thought they were right. I figured having a middle man that Apple did not control in the mix might have been a necessary give. Good thing I’ve got a day job.
I can’t tell you when, but yes, I’m buying one.
