Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
The patent describes widgets such as stocks and weather on the Apple TV, but more importantly, widgets that would be tailored to what you are watching, which in and of itself hints at the Apple TV interfacing with live television. If you were watching a baseball game for instance, live scores would pop up. For a rock concert, a widget showing the band’s next concert and an opportunity to buy tickets. A movie, and perhaps other movies with the same actors or director, and a link to rent from the iTunes Movie Store.
The patent also describes iChat on the Apple TV, which would be used for discussion of the game or movie you were watching at the time.
