Early reviews suggested Apple's product was simply nothing new, that it just had a bigger price tag. Why did the iPod clean up the market?

That helps provide some clues of what the iTV will be able to do. Both need primarily to decompress audio and video from a hard drive, but instead of creating output for headphones and a small display, the iTV will use digital audio ports and component video, or its HDMI AV connector. </div> <div class="paragraph Free_Form" style="line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 15px; opacity: 1.00; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; text-decoration: none;"> </div> <div class="paragraph Free_Form" style="line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 15px; opacity: 1.00; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none;">The other obvious difference between the two is that the iTV has a direct power cable instead of running off a battery.

Microsoft has been trying to resell the PC in the form of MSN TV and the Windows Media Center and is simply not doing so well with that strategy.</div> <div class="paragraph Free_Form" style="line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 15px; opacity: 1.00; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; text-decoration: none;"> </div> <div class="paragraph Free_Form" style="line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 15px; opacity: 1.00; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none;">The most obvious advantage this gives Apple is a much lower price point. It's rather hard to scale a standard PC down to $299 while providing HD video and optical digital audio outputs. By targeting the iTV directly at its intended purpose rather than lobbing a PC at every problem, Apple ends up with a product that sells itself.</div> <div class="paragraph Free_Form" style="line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 15px; opacity: 1.00; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; text-decoration: none;"> </div> <div class="paragraph Free_Form" style="line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; "><span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana-Bold', 'Verdana', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 15px; opacity: 1.00; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; ">Engineering vs Marketing</span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 15px; opacity: 1.00; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; "></span></div> <div class="paragraph Free_Form" style="line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; "><span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 15px; opacity: 1.00; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; ">This is another example of how Apple competes as a technology company: it finds what users need, then engineers a product designed to meet those needs, often in innovative ways.
