Apple TV: The Revolution Will be Televised…

Cable company beware; TV network duck for cover!

The [tag]Apple TV[/tag] is a paradigm-shattering invention, particularly in the niche video market. Think of being able to watch the latest Nollywood productions or local programs from your native country via iTune/iPod/Apple TV without having to buy any VCDs or deal with some lousy TV stations!

Although at about $300 a pop, it is still on the high side, but with time the price is bound to drop.

I can think of several ways this invention can be put to use…

    Your comments are exactly right — the cable company needs to watch out. The Apple TV is just the first in a long line of “over the top devices (to use Shelly Palmer’s term.)

    I can’t see how the cable company will be able to compete with them.
