Good Afternoon on this chilly December day in New York. This is the newest member of Virtua Computers Inc., Anthony, and I’m updating our blog on two topics: the Grand Central store opening and Apple TV rumors.
First off, Apple has opened yet another beautiful store in NYC, it’s Grand Central location. I visited the store when it opened to the public on Dec. 9th and there was a mob of people in the 23,000-square-foot store. The store is located in the middle of the terminal and wraps around on the upper floors. Check it out, it’s easily the most accessible Apple store to visit since it’s a subway stop away from home.
Secondly, there have been talks of Apple TV with improvements to the system and hardware rumors. Apple recently came out with Siri, a voice activation/assistant on the iPhone 4s, and the rumors point to integration into the Apple TV system. Sources are also pointing to wireless streaming capabilities, voice/motion controls, and features that enable the sharing your content across multiple devices. I believe Siri and added motion sensing technology could allow Apple to become a big player in the home entertainment. Google TV seemed like a great idea, but consumers don’t seem to be keen on using a remote control to type on their tv, but improvements like these on the Apple TV platform look promising.
