The prospect of an Apple television set that can sync content with your devices, pull down items from iCloud, and, presumably, run apps is enticing. But how practical will this set be? Is Siri ready to be the primary interface for such a central device in your home? How will broadcasters take to the new television, will they embrace it or panic?
Here's what I'm wondering.
Wanted: InternetIn the iPhone 4S iteration of Siri, your device must be connected to the Internet for voice commands to work, and the same is true of Google's Voice Actions for Android. This is because phones have relatively constrained processing power in contrast to PCs, so voice commands are processed on company servers and then sent back to the handset.
That could be a problem for your new Apple TV set should your Internet connection ever go down. Now, it's likely that Apple would account for this by having at least some of Siri's voice processing be able to work without Internet connectivity, but how much Siri functionality can you reasonably expect to have if you lose connectivity for a few hours?
What's most interesting about this story is the extreme secrecy with which Apple is handing the process. it seems that WSJ developers do have access to a pre-release iPad, which Murdoch confirms is "kept under padlock and key." Not only that, but an Apple employee turns the key every night to confirm that the iPad is where it should be -- locked up tight, safe and sound. Not even preferred developers have earned Apple's full trust.
Unlike some competitors (like the NY Times and Financial Times), the WSJ seems to think that its readers should pay twice or three times to read the exact same content in a different place. So for example, I subscribed to the WSJ.com service, only to find that I would have to pay again to read the same articles via the iPhone app. So don't be surprised when they expect us suckers to pay yet again to read the exact same content on their iPad application, too. No thanks.
