Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I am an Amazon Prime member, and they now offer free streaming of movies like Netflix. Can Apple TV access Amazon Prime movies?

TOP TEN THOUGHTS

1. The ATV2 already has 'apps'. YouTube, Flickr, MobileMe -- all web apps. Like toes in the big pond.

2. Do you think Apple would frown upon an iTunes app that let you play music from the store and through the TV? Especially if you could click BUY?

3. On the same subject, do you think Apple would shy away from taking their cut of any apps sold through the ATV2 for ATV2?

4. You forgot the competition. The question of having Facebook on ATV2 becomes moot once Roku has it. It then becomes a question of why not? And frankly --

5. -- there are video links all over Facebook that would perfectly marry itself to ATV2 (see YouTube App)

6. Suppose you're waiting for an important email? THOOM it pops in and with a click you check it. Now you don't have to have your phone, laptop, or iPad next to you.

7. An Apple TV that needs typing (Twitter, Facebook) is an Apple TV that either needs an Apple Remote keyboard or an iPhone or iPad. Since when has Apple hated making money hand over fist?

8. Two words: Angry Birds

9. There is no number nine.

10. If Apple can't manage to turn the ATV2 into a giant iPhone, nobody can.
