"This seems to be a ISV (independent software vendor) Product (CA7) upgrade issue, ... Any Tom or any Ram might run to this issue if your systems are way too 'obsolete' and refuse to pay for updated s/w."
This seems to be a failed s/w upgrade - which happens all the time - followed by a botched backout to a known good restore point.
"... without compromising performance."
I have never heard such rubbish come out of a hardware review. Yes its a nice screen, yes its pretty. but it has compromised on:
Connectivity..."
I see that 'performance' isn't in your list of compromised things, and that's *very thing* that the author says isn't compromised.
So you're in agreement then?
is that (among other things) when you switch it on, it gives you a thumbnaiil of what is showing on each input and that the inputs are named (Sky, Playstation instead of HDMI1, componant etc). You then point to/tap/say which one you want.
Perhaps there is some brand that does this already?
Whilst I like Apple stuff, I personally can't imagine how they can shake up the TV UI/viewing experience. Having said that, there are several improvemnts to be made (currently using a Panasonic 42" LCD) - named inputs, remote connection box with wireless streaming etc.
Canon and Nikon scoffed at Sony's announcement to muscle inon their D-SLR business (at which they've been quite successfull and Sony camera's have gathered serious acclaim) and Sega and Nintendo fans laughed when Sony annouched a games console ("Games console? what do sony know about games consoles?") and lots of phone manufacturers dismissed the iPhone as a serious competitor. They also redesigned & rejuvenated the tablet market.
But I though the new iPad was a bit 'Meh' as did I to the original iPod " Wow - the revolutionary device is a large capacity MP3 player."
So - could be interesting. Will it be a Thunderbolt display with an Apple TV added or something else? What did SJ think of (or thought he'd thunked of) that all the other UI designers missed?
