Rumor: Next Apple TV will be $99, feature cloud storage

Big fucking deal. After spending all this money on the first version and we get no love, all i can say is big deal. He'll, tiheappletv isrefured to as a hobby. Why do I want to invest in something that he isn't even taking seriously? All my current apple tv is good for is streaming boxer on it to watch online content.

Maybe googletv will prove to be better. But on the other hand, I think google just likes shaking up the market too.

I love apple, don't get me wrong. I have went through 4 iPhones, 1 iMac, and I'm writing this on a iPad. And of course I have a appletv.

Just prove to me its nolongera hobby and please take it seriously.

I'm surprised no one has connected the dots to the Elgato EyeTV software that allows streaming *Live TV* from a MAC to iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad

...add in the Live TV streaming facility to the new Apple TV and Windows Media Center just lost the game if you ask me (And I'm very happy with my Media Center, two Xboxes and a Linksys Extender, it just totally blows for Music and Movie playback.

Solo

Add app store games with ability to connect iPhone or ipod touch to use as controller with accelerometer and Apple win the TV war. End of.

Depending on the execution there's potential for this to be a nice product (given the rumored price point) but it would be nice if Apple expanded the features. A web browser, widgets for stocks, weather, etc.

This speculation has me wondering how small the next Mac Mini will be. I can almost envision a next-gen Mini coming with a little holster that clips onto your monitor to become the non-desktop desktop... sort of an unbundled iMac.

The tagline for the ads: "Your life. In your pocket."

@ilkyone,

there is no trouble accessing you iTunes library, the music, music videos, and videos work really well, well unless you purchased any of Apples highly compressed, semi-HD, over priced movies.

Great - I only just brought an appleTV last week - i don't think my wife is going to be too happy!

that's nice for you. too bad they killed linux on it.

I don't want a PS3 because it's a power hog and it's not as convenient for me to get at my iTunes content.

Cloud storage for video is irrelevant if your internet can't keep up, we have 4 people in our household, sometimes all watching different things at the same time, most people's internet can't handle that sort of bandwidth day in day out.

Sounds like I may finally buy an Apple TV if this does happen. Sounds amazing.
