Week in Apple: Flash on iPad, Apple TV stays a hobby, SDK gems
As developers dug into the iPad SDK and unearthed previously unknown gems, there was more discussion about 27" iMac issues, Flash support in iPhone OS, and why the Apple TV remains a hobby in Apple's eyes. Oh, and did you know that the 2010 Macworld Expo is next week?
Tablet makers rethinking things in wake of iPad's $499 price: Rumor has it that MSI, ASUS, and other companies that will put out competing tablets this year have been knocked back on their heels by the iPad's low launch price. The $499 model's apparently thin profit margin is also a massive change for Apple, so it's worth thinking about how and why the company did it.
Three years later, Apple TV remains a hobby: Apple largely focused on the iPad in its most recent employee Town Hall, but one employee ventured a question about the Apple TV. Yep, it's still a hobby, and we believe it will be stuck that way until the content offerings are more interesting.
