Another good perspective on the rumored update to the Apple TV. I agree that Apple is late to the party on this one and that if it’s strictly a way to get stuff from iTunes (and not Netflix) I don’t see what it offers me that the current Apple TV doesn’t. I can’t see Apple supporting Netflix since it competes with their movie rental service, but they do allow it on the iPad so who knows.

If the rumor of apps makes it basically a TV connected iPad is true, it’s interesting. This could be step one in phasing out the Mac as we know it.
