Apple Co-Founder sees the light, attacks iPhone, MacBook Air and Apple TV

Filed under: Empire — Fake Linus Torvalds @ 11:12 am

See here. So Woz finally found the light. Here’s some nice quotes:

“To tell you the truth I was really disappointed when the iPhone was introduced … half the phones in the AT&T store at the time were 3G phones,” Mr Wozniak said during a press conference following his keynote speech at the Broadband and Beyond Conference this morning.

Wozniak agreed with those criticisms [of the Air], saying: “I don’t think it’s going to be a hit.” He said he liked to burn a lot of DVDs for friends and watched movies on planes, and so needed the ability to swap batteries mid-flight.

Wozniak said he believed Apple TV - with its on-demand access to movies and TV shows without the need for a computer - was “a really good indicator of where the future is”.

But he criticised the 24-hour time limit given to users who rent shows via the device and said the quality of YouTube videos played on it was poor.
