I suspect it has more to do with either click traffic (I suspect a lot more people are looking at macbooks and apple tvs than airport extreme.) or maybe product model turnover rate (the new 802.11-n airport extreme replaces the older 802.11g airport extreme base station, which replaced the 802.11 a+b airport base, etc.) There are also a lot of features: like very large SATA drives, which would cannibalize mac mini sales. A more likely model update would be to run cooler. Almost everything else needs to happen on the iTunes store, as opposed to the hardware- cheaper, better resolution Films and videos. A direct connection to the store would be nice, but that kind of thing could happen on the present model as a software update, and new codecs too, no reason to put out another model for that. I'd also rather have some java or iPod games (joystick maybe?) PVR isn't going to happen and neither are Halo 3 games, but big-screen scrabble would be nice!

Here are my two cents. 1) External USB Harddrive option. Someone suggested an external HDD would spoil the design of the AppleTV. I disagree as there already are external HDD especially designed for the MacMini. EVERY AppleTV owner would order an external HDD that suits the design of this device. So: there you have a big market :-) 2) Ability to purchase content OUTSIDE the US. This whole "US centric" Apple strategy (iPhone, AppleTV, LEOPARD DELAY) is really bugging me! 3) Higher quality content (AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE US) That's it. I OWN an AppleTV and use it as an entertainment system. I stand in front of my computer (a Mac) the whole day. The last thing I want to do is read RSS from my couch, watch YouTube videos or surf the net. I only want: music, TV shows and movies. That's not that hard Steve J., is it? 4) Here we enter the realm of "faisable but impossible...". I don't want PVR à là TiVo: I would love an AppleTV with IPTV (there should be a reason why the device is being called "something"TV... So IPTV should be this reason) So, my list is made of 3 items which I think are not that hard for Apple to adress and one "dream" that I think is unlikely to be made possible by Apple itself. So… Here are my two cents.

4) Here we enter the realm of “faisable but impossible…”. I don’t want PVR à là TiVo: I would love an AppleTV with IPTV (there should be a reason why the device is being called “something”TV… So IPTV should be this reason)

So, my list is made of 3 items which I think are not that hard for Apple to adress and one “dream” that I think is unlikely to be made possible by Apple itself.

VERY COOL! can't wait to see what they come out with next! - High Def content
