5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Whitemore is tipping first-year sales of two million units for the Apple TV, and predicts it will eventually have an impact on DVD and CD player sales. Whether the sale of movies and TV shows through the iTunes Store will similarly impinge on DVD sales remains to be seen. People may stick to adding TV tuners to their computers for off-air recording, and ripping purchased DVDs for playback via the Apple TV. The Apple TV - which features 802.11n WiFi and a 40G drive capable of storing up to 50G of video - is due to ship this month for $A449/$US299. One concern is that it supports a relatively small range of codecs: H.264 and MPEG-4, but not others that are in common use such as AVI and DivX.{moscomment} |
