One more thing: Apple previews iTV
So now that we can download movies off the iTunes Store and watch them on our iPods, what about watching them on our big, expensive flat screen TVs?
In a departure from traditional Apple secrecy, Steve Jobs gave a preview of a device codenamed ‘iTV’ - a network digital media player. It was only a preview so the device will only be available later in Q1 of 2007. And yeah, I just want to point out that the iTV sounds a lot like that iTheatre I predicted. Not too far off then eh?
I have to stop blogging because I’m at work now 
so I’ll just point you to CNET Alpha blog’s very informative post on the iTV.
By the way, you can discuss all the announcements in the myMUG forum.

Back then, Jobs said that the iTV will not ship till the “first quarter of 2007”, but I feel that they will officially unveil it and give it its official name on Tuesday. iTheatre? iDVR? [...]
