Game Center for appleTV

There has been a lot of speculation lately regarding a new appleTV, I am one of the few that owns an original appleTV and although it is still connected to my tv and is used a few times a month it has been a pretty underwhelming experience.

In all honesty, I am not sure switching to iOS is the way to go with this product either, iOS is wonderful on a touch device but it works because it was built from the ground up for a touch device, also the interface on appleTV currently isn't bad since the last big update.

On the other hand having a library of apps for the device could be stunning, I would love hulu+, netflix or even Plants vs Zombies on my big tv controlled by an iPad or iPhone/touch. The thing that excites me even more is the idea of game Center being integrated with the OS, I don't think it's a coincidence that this new product looks like it will arrive right around the time that game Center will go live, it might even be the one more thing moment ...

Where in the world is iOS4

I love the iPad, however 6 weeks ago I bought an iPhone4, it's not my first iPhone, I have owned all but the 3G, it is however my first iOS4 device. It is fantastic but I have one issue with it... no its not the antenna, not had one dropped call, its also not the proximity sensor or yellowed photos. My only issue with the new iPhone is that after using iOS4 on such a snappy device the iPad feels thoroughly crippled and has really taken a back seat in my everyday life even when the larger screen would be a much better fit for the task at hand.

There are two specific iOS4 features which really push me to the phone ahead of the iPad, namely the fast app switching/backgrounding and the unified inbox in mail, without these navigating the iPad has begun to feel clunky and the faster we get a build on the iPad the better as far as I am concerned.
