Apple Computer will own the living room, not Microsoft | |

"Despite Bill Gates' announcement of new partnerships with LG, Discovery Channel and many others, his dream, of a Media Center where all media can be controlled with one remote and shared among all possible devices, will come true but not for Microsoft," Frank Ottink writes for YEALD. "So far the only company who has control over most aspects and has proven that it can pull together the parties is of course Apple with the iPod/iTunes combination." Ottink writes, "I'm not sure, but like many others, I suspect the rumored below $500 Q88 or 'headless' iMac, will be the first step of Apple to create a seamless media experience. The fact that it is headless makes it very suitable to become a TiVo like Personal Video Recorder sitting under or on top of a TV. Add some nifty Media Center software, connectivity to the iPod, the house network, and the internet, preferably wireless, and you have the perfect Media Center solution without having to buy a new high-end Media Center PC.
