This is a well-written article-- the author makes some strong points that haven't been very well refuted in this thread (so far).
Particularly the last one-- suddenly you have that futuristic, computer centered house we know from so much 60s science fiction, where a call, image or text comes in on your iPhone and you say "on screen" and it pops up on your home's main screen . . .
Strong points? More like people do not want to wade through the BS to bother ripping it apart. They failed with the Apple TV. My prediction is that I expect the marketing department to once again force a similar set of landmines on the engineering team which will limit adoption by people not already using iTunes for their low quality HD (only 720p) content.
