TivoToGo is no go for Mac users
For now, anyway. The new portable TiVo service that allows you to copy shows to your laptop is
currently only
Windows-compatible.
The service will come to the Macintosh, but nobody is saying when: “We are working on Mac support, but have nothing to
announce at this time with regard to when it will be available,” according to a TiVo spokesperson.
If Forrester Research is right, we won’t have to wait terribly long for Mac compatibility. They have a hunch that
Apple plans to acquire TiVo in 2005 in order to give
it a leg up in the race for the digital living room.
The acquisition of TiVo would put Apple in position to facilitate delivery of TV and video on demand. Plus, Mac users
would no longer have to wait for Mac-compatible versions of cool TiVo software!!

When I first saw that "Apple buying TiVo" prediction, I thought cool. But now I'm wondering what it Apple would gain. Couldn't they just develop their own system? Apple is good at hardware, software, and with iTunes, services. Unless it would just be cheaper but I can't imagine that.
Thoughts anyone?
