So I went out and bought a second Apple TV for another TV in the house. I have to admit I am liking it. I guess I was one of the few who liked it before the latest software upgrade came out. It made for a great way to play music while entertaining. The latest version really brings everything together. I still would like to see more features other then movies, music and photos. I wouldn't mind seeing Apple integrate the widget platform. Can't you imagine having a screensaver that displays the latest weather, scores, and stocks. I was never a fan of browsing on my TV, but having small snippets of information displayed would be cool. I find myself changing the way I browse these days. For example, I rarely leave my google reader home page. I find all my information these days in feeds, digg or even twitter. I like keeping my information on "slow drip" all day. One thing that Apple has nicely done (with help from Google) is provide services and platforms to drive information. That's why I still believe they will release a tablet style device. Before the Macbook Air was announced, the rumor was that Apple was planning to release a larger version of the iPhone. A device with the same form factor except larger and would basically act as an appliance. So having more information driven to the Apple TV is a good idea. If done right, it would be even cooler.
