Merv,
Jonathan's presentation was a lot of fun to listen to. My wife and I
would consider switching to the Apple TV if I knew that it could receive
content from Amazon Prime. As far as I know, the third generation model
had no such capability which was a dealbreaker for us, as we are Amazon
Prime members. If you ever hear of an Amazon Prime app for the new Apple
TV, please let me know.

Hi,
In anticipation of this evening’s meeting I thought I might pass along an excellent recording that Jonathan Mosen made along with his daughter, Heidi, while unboxing and connecting their brand new Apple TV complete with voiceover. I had not heard Heidi since she was a toddler and I worked with her dad on the ACB Radio Interactive project as the Country Bumpkin so I was surprised to hear she was so grown up. I sent along an email and complimented Mister Mosen on his recording. And I told him it is easy to see where he got his creativity and intelligence. Apparently in New Zealand it goes backwards, laughs!
Also the new Apple TV although it runs on this new TVOS requires the IOS 9.1 in order to get the best use of shared features from both devices. This is why I thought it was relevant to tonight’s meeting. There was one point in the recording where it was demonstrated that everything on Jonathan’s account in iTunes that was on his iPhone that was also available for the Apple TV just appeared in his new Apple TV store and was ready and waiting to be downloaded. For him this included Periscope, speedtest, Netflix, and others. It was also noted that just because an app is fully accessible on his iPhone did not mean it would be fully accessible on his new Apple TV. Speedtest for example.
I’m looking forward to tonight.
Merv
