Yi-Tan Weekly Tech Call #
102
2006-09-25
(Monday
) Apple's at it again. Amid refreshes of the iPod and laptop lines (and some battery woes), Apple unveiled iTV. Has Apple found the winning combination for IP TV? Or is it past the top of its game?
With Charles Hall, let's discuss:
- Does the future of video look like traditional TV or like BitTorrent? Is it downloaded or real time?
- What will make iTV a success? Screen rez? More titles?
- Is owning the channel more important, or owning the media? The metadata?
- How will Amazon and Wal-Mart respond?
As always, an IRC chat will be available during the call at #yitan. (Not familiar with IRC? Just join us here.)
We tweet as @yitan (and use #yitan as our hashtag). Please follow us on Twitter. This page is on the web here.
