The New Apple TV… The Potential for Something Great. (iCloud PVR)
A few months ago, we posted a video on Vimeo (below) on the direction we thought Apple would go with the new Apple TV. This concept would bring together several legacy hardware devices into one central hub for your house, in a simple, customer-focused package that even your granny could use. With the rumor mill churning pretty good these days, here is our updated prediction on what the Apple TV will be, and how we think they will do so while making the cable providers happy.

Crisis Averted?
