I'm not counting Apple out yet. We don't know what's happening behind the scenes with Apple TV. It wouldn't surprise me if they had something waiting in the wings. Apple has a pretty good track record of keeping a big project secret, announcing it and shipping it before their competitors have established any fortified position. If you were to combine together all these devices -- Apple TV, Roku, Popcorn Hour, etc there's a pretty big market there. No one has quite figured it out yet. An Apple TV Rev 2 running iPhone OS with an SDK running on cheap ARM hardware sold at a low margin could be hugely successful very quickly.
