Apple TV changes how we interact with TVs and how we can access data while watching shows (powered by apps yes) and it’s competing with game consoles. That brings a bunch of opportunities to game developers too!

One thing I’m concerned about is how Apple tends to use app developers as their innovation lab-workers such that when an app becomes a key element of iPhone user experience, Apple either copies it (note taking/reminders/maps/photos/etc) or finds a corporate partner to sponsor (edging out competition)

Developers bring a lot to the table but we’re just fodder for corporate interests. Apple could at least improve app discoverability

Welcome to 2006 smart tvs and the nintendo wii. Yet again creating a 4th developer SDK to support. You can only ride the app pony for so long before everything looks like a iphone.
