I would like to see some improvement on Apple TV, that Apple polishes this little box and turn it into a home media server with features that suit every member of the family, here is what I want on Apple TV:

1. Media Server
If Apple adds more HD space and more processor power together with a multimedia version of Mac OS X Server that receive our iphone, ipod and digital camera content wirelessly and broadcast it to every single device on the house.

2. Live Email
A home server that let you see your incoming emails in a widget while watching your favorite tv program.

3. Tags r US
A tagging system that let you mark any given program and that the tagged program get recorded in the background and upload it to your ipod or iphone for your traveling pleasure.

4. The usual DVR functions
Record live tv, picture in picture, ad skipping and Parental Control.

5. A Learn More System:
A direct connection to Wikipedia or WikipediaTV, something that let you understand what is being talked on tv, a reference system that update you as it goes, collecting words, cities, countries and personalities for an On Deman or for a later visit.

6. Ical Connect
A widget system that provides you with schedul information, just like a pop window at the bottom of your tv screen. The ical system can be updated remotely or can be programmed to broadcast to your iphone or ipod touch your schedule.

7. Wireless Keyboard
To set all these a keyboard will be required, a small, lightweight and wireless keyboard must provides access to the Home Media Server and will let you interact with the Live Rating System.

8. Live Rating System.
LRS is a system that let you rate instantly the quality of the content, if is suitable for minors or young children or what is the real audience for this kind of program. It will be learning from people to people and then this information can be access on demand everytime you need it as a reference.

To make this system work flawlessly Apple must collect information, not personal information, geographic location or people habits, just what people answer via the system. This will create an even better Parental Control.

Feel free to add your wishes to this list, send me yours to info@whataboutmac.com for a future update.
