Say what you will about Apple, good or bad, but it’s hard to deny they’ve been raking in the dough with one successful product after another. Just about anything put out with an Apple logo sends people into a frenzy, flocking into stores to buy whatever they’re selling.
Except the Apple TV that is, Cupertino’s little box that connects to TVs and let users buy content online, and play media from a built in hard drive and network devices. First launched in 2006, analysts had high expectations for Apple TV, spouting off ridiculous statements one often hears during Apple product launches like “It’s going to change the world!” “It’s Magical!” and “I so want one! What does it do, again?” Suffice it to say, it never lived up to any of the hype.
