Default Would you buy an Apple iTV television?

I shudder at the thought of lining up every year to buy a $5K Apple iTV television the way I currently buy iPhone and iPad devices.

I'm hoping Apple knows the cycle will have to be different, but I'm also a huge fan of their technology so the idea of getting a *better* television entices me...

What about you, would you buy one?

I'd rather have an updated AppleTV like the version I have (first gen with storage...) that I can hook into my current TV that is about 18mo. old, and have the Remote app on my iPhone control it... and have the Remote app be Siri friendly...

Nope. I'd buy an apple tv3 though. I'd never be interested in an apple made tv.

There is a 0.0% chance of me ever considering one until one of my TVs dies. When that happens I guess I would consider it but price will be large factor.

I await Apple's definition of what a "better" TV will do for me.

I think I would like to get an updated AppleTV too, and now Im enjoy with my ATV2, as in the help of handbrake and ifunia, it's a nice home centre for my family, but maybe can get some more exciting like have the Remote app be Siri friendly~

I would buy a generation one when the second generation came out, cause that's how long it would take me to save up for it, lol.

I would definitely buy one! But then I wouldn't buy another one until the current one broke.
