I do not understand why everyone think Apple will have a TV and B&O is dead.  I doubt Apple would be successful with a TV.  Apple comes out with a New model of their products every year, who is going to buy a new TV every year or everyother year, not me. 

B&O will be fine, they just need to some some decent Audio.  Personally, I think they need a digital, turntable, tuner w/ AM&FM and CD.  Vinyl is still big is the US, just ask Neil Young.

OK, that's good to know. Where did you buy the crystal ball? I'd like one...

Congratulation, you just made the top 10. I won't say of what though.... 

Well lets look at that crystal ball?  New iPhone every year, 4 iPads, too many to count iPods.  Apple makes money selling new iDevices.  Last year it was Apple is going to buy Loewe TV, a product not sold in the USA and from my understanding has about the same price point as B&O.  Tell me who is going to upgrade that sum every year or every other year, not me.  Next, iTunes.  Apple makes it money selling content, they have no TV content.  I have there set top box.  There is more content with on my Samsung Blu-ray player, then my Apple TV, if it was not for Mirroring my iPad, I would not have an Apple box.  Apple continues to say that Apple TV is a hobby product.  Another thing, the cable companies here in the USA charge money rental for the set-top box to get programming, I doubt that the cable industry in the USA is going to give up that monthly revenue for a built-in set-top box from Apple.

You're not exactly helping yourself...

Why wouldn't they make money selling new stuff? What should they be selling? Perhaps old stuff? 

It's business, you need something new to sell. You don't have to buy it though. I'm still on the original iPad, works just as well as the new one.

Should the iTunes content be free then? How would that work out? Nothing is free.

What I do agree with you though is that the Apple TV might be a bit of a "hobby product". I've argued this before, and still believe any future Apple TV is going to be a few inch cube at the most. There's plenty of panel makers, one of which is making a profit? 😕 

Bayerische, Flappo, Elephant, Puncher, Apple's preachers.

Is there an exorcist here ?

I had one, but I missed a payment and got reposessed  🙁

I think the title of this thread is "Beo's Future".  Why do so many discussions turn into an Apple discussion?  There are plenty of Apple discussion forums where you can rant for days. 

Because , for these preachers , outside Apple there is no salvation.

Apple is actually the future of everything.

I need to buy a new car, maybe, I should wait that Apple makes my choice simpler.

Yawn...and I go away again 😕

Cheerio!
