And let me say I just made the switch to Apple two days ago (17" MBP). I don't think the iTV will sell ,since its just a slimmed down version of a Mac mini. What they need is iTV to be also a DVR, but then that conflicts with the ITunes busines model. Maybe they are targeting those who don't have cable? Or hoping people will drop cable and download only the shows they really watch? Wait for iTV II. Iphone though it is cool...and will sell to diehard Mac fans and a few others...won't get the majority of a early adopters (techies) until it can run java and flash. I would buy one today (June) if it can run flash 9. The benefits (coolness factor) doesn't outweigh the switching costs (possible new carrier/contract and cost of Iphone). I bet they are looking to develop their own apps and sell/distribute via iTunes. Again, I will wait for iPhone II when/if it runs Flash 9/10/n. I agree.
