Ew Apple Tv!


Take two update or whatever is out for apple TV this month is finally here. I noticed people all over the world lining up to get their hands on the hottest device evvverrr!!! Okay not so much but give Apple a break with that amazing UI (its rather disgusting) who wouldn’t want to purchase one of these. well before on take 1 or apple TV original you got that little 6- button white remote that closely resembles the ipod shuffles size I mean wow why would people want to control so much with such a little remote, and of course with 2008 take 2 you get the same remote surprising or lazy (gesture control anybody willing to make it happen?). Don’t get me wrong I love apple and all their designs but uh app TV no tanks. The new UI (user interface for the newbie’s) is killing me I think I like the first one better and the whole concept of apple TV kills me too its just not what consumers are looking for in my perspective the only thing I respect is the movie rentals being directly loaded onto your TV, other than that you can keep your TV, apple.

I think Apple TV could be a great product...in a couple of years. At least it has HDMI output also, unlike lots of similar products.
