Apple Tv May Support Facetime And Skype

A recent report says that Apple's TV product will be launched in 2012. The industry believes that Apple TV will support Facetime and Skype, but it also will face two major problems. The analyst reiterated his view that Apple TV product will be launched in 2012. The technology industry correspondent guesses the future features of Apple TV.



Apple TV will have only two cables: a power line and a coaxial cable. When we turn on the TV, users simply need to enter your Apple ID account, and then you can start watching TV. TV schedules will be finely designed, and easy to navigate. If you want to watch premium channels, then you can just enter the password. Apple TV will support applications, including games and software such as Facetime and Skyep. In addition, Apple TV can also be synchronized with other iOS devices. It can become a WiFi access point through the cable operator's network.



Apple TV's a major problem is that it needs to support multiple cable systems. Apple TV supports only a few or several operators, or will it will become too complex, resulting in the emergence of a large number of vulnerabilities. Cable operators had already given up inserted TV. The provision of services in this way is too complicated. So, either Apple depends on the TV cable operators to support the card in the future, or set up their own team of engineers for the door-to-door service.



Apple TV's another big problem is that users will not upgrade the TV as often as they upgrade the consumer electronics products. According to Moore's Law, computer and mobile phone's replacement is fast. The user may replace new computers and mobile phones every one year or two. However, if a family bought a big-screen TV, it is unlikely to replace the TV in a short time.



Apple has had faced a similar situation in the mobile phone market. The network operators use different standards. Some of the requirements conflict with each other. But Apple has gradually solved the problem. Mobile phone business has been cheaply commercialized. The profit margins become very low. But Apple's device has become a "must buy goods", operators must cooperate with Apple.



As Munster said: "Apple TV's impact on TV makers will be the like the impact of iPhone, on the mobile phone manufacturers." The analysts say that Apple TV will support applications, including games and software such as Facetime and Skyep.
