iHub
So, there is this story about the famous Apple produced entertainment server, which I have written about before in the iBox... so now I have to write about it again to fulfill my hunger.
So, I am going to tell you what would be in it:
- Huge HD, enough to hold 250 ripped DVDs
- SuperDrive for burning and ripping CDs/DVDs
- A Slimmed down version of Mac OS X
- FireWire 800 Port
- Two USB 2.0 Ports
- AirPort Exrteme
- Bluetooth for the remote
- a fast ass G5 processor
- Video and audio in/out
- PCI card slot
The software would be a slimmed down version of Mac OS X, and would have a main program interface of having a PVR software... it would have some kind of "Entertainment Central," capturing TV, showing off your captured DVDs.. and then it could connect to your home network and get your iTunes music and iPhotos... It would be a nice UI over the Mac OS X base, and of course someone would figure out how to crack it.
Or maybe some kind of AirPort Express A/V that could have a FireWire port that would get the video stream of a wired computer, translate it in the box and output it to some firewire port box that converts it into video/audio plugs... something complicated like that....
All I know is that I would gladly buy one... of course.
