@BenedictEvans good thoughts on TV. Did you catch my series by chance? We agree on no set at least.

-
@monkbent@BenedictEvans 500GB would allow people to store tons of apps, incl. high-end console quality games that support MFi controllers -
-
@kiggle agree with@BenedictEvans on that point. I still believe in the SDK, at a sub 150 and ideally sub 100 price point -
@monkbent@BenedictEvans obviously a better long-term strategy will be some sort of cloud-powered on-demand deal, but we're not there yet. -
@kiggle on-demand cloud storage works for content now, and Xbox One is doing same for games@BenedictEvans -
@monkbent@BenedictEvans I see it going one of two ways: either they do an SDK, and add local storage, *or* they move to AirPlay-only model. -
@kiggle@BenedictEvans yes, we are all in agreement I think that a set is a ridiculous proposition... -
@monkbent@BenedictEvans I was never talking about an actual panel, I don't think anyone really thinks they're doing that (save Gene :P)

@monkbent@BenedictEvans go to market can’t be set-only if the goal is an ecosystem. Suspect box/dongle with TV set as flagship experience. -
@jackhhughes Apple doesn't do "flagship experiences." It's the whole enchilada or it's nothing. I strongly suspect no set.@BenedictEvans -
@monkbent@BenedictEvans experience would likely be 1-1. Why not sell a set with a 10-20% margin for the (minority) who’ll pay it? -
@jackhhughes because that's not how Apple rolls. I don't mean that tritely.@BenedictEvans

@monkbent@BenedictEvans but what I'd rather see in the near term is keep the existing box at $100, but add at 500GB HDD, open App store.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent@BenedictEvans I wouldn't be surprised if an airplay-only dongle happens at some point, not at allThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
