So much for apple stirring up the HDTV/PVR market

I was hopping for something big at Apples press show.
*yawn* 2$ for low res crappy tv vids? Pay more, get less, the apple way. It is to laugh.
Sorry, is there DVI out or something on that iMac thing, no. Looks like 20″ is your ONLY playback avenue. I guess the new mini’s might come with front row too though, maybe somthing will happen there. No tuner support? Sure the remote has less buttons, the product dose less, a lot less, duh.
I’m disappointed, I thought Apple would introduce a Strong competitor into the HDTV arena, but this is just a gimmick, and not a very compelling one, to drive pod sales. This is not going to create even the slightest bubble of competition and innovation in the PVR market place. It’s definitely not going to cause MS or Tivo or DirectTV or anyone else currently in the convergence market to one degree or another to loose sleep. Bummer we need some more competion and more big players to wake up the providers.
