Fun, and I think he makes a very important point in the quoted text. Emphasis mine.
Thoughts on what an Apple tablet should be – or not | via Chicago Sun-Times
Before we get all misty-eyed here about Apple as a company with an unblemished track record for insight and innovation, I should leave you with the words “Apple TV.â€
Apple was quick out the door with a box that plugs into your HDTV and streams content from your media library. Apple released it three years ago and its done little but displace air (mostly on shelves at Apple Stores) every since. The Apple Tablet could be a repeat of the same mistakes. The operative mistake of the AppleTV seems to have been to design a box that’s ideally suited towards serving up all of the media you have, as opposed to being thought of as a box that can deliver all of the media there is.
