One of the mysteries with today's Apple TV announcement is why they didn't incorporate Apps Store

There wouldn't be any apps.

When they do this, they will do it like they did with part of the iPad... secret seeding to top devs they want to have in the store at launch. Right now iOS devs are all still recovering from having to crank out their iPad apps in a short amount of time. Personally I am thankful they have given us a break!

I agree with your comment. But this is a matter of timing. I have to believe that within 12 months, they will incorporate apps in the new Apple TV. For a family of four, I spend close to $150 per month on cell phones. Apple is now getting a piece of that and I am happy they do because cell phones used to suck until they came along. I am also spending close to $100 per month on cable and I can't wait until Apple gets a piece of that as well. Nothing sucks more than Comcast Cable. That's a lot of money per month for apps. Go west, young man, go after the money.
Stupid cash cow
