| I wonder if Apple will develop a revolutionary Joystick and compete with Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft in the Game Console Department. |

I am sorry about quoting myself...
I was using my iPod Touch 4G, and suddenly I realized... What better joystick that the iPod Touch? It has an Accelerometer, a gyroscope, Wifi, blueetooth... and a nice screen where you can draw any number of buttons (to simulate a Pad).
I wonder if I can use an Apple TV First Person Shooter, with the iPod Touch simulating the gun, and pressing the volume buttons to shoot. |

Just to clarify, it can decode 1080p (up to a certain bitrate), but all playback is downconverted to 720p. On the plus side, it has been tested to play back 720p60fps material without issue. |

That's a good point. For me it was mainly a issue having to re-encode everything. heh. |
