Apple

[Grieve]

I don't know, a recent survey found that almost half of all US consumers want to buy an Apple TV, and at a premium:

Even people I know who hate the iPhone and iPad would be open to it.

I suspect it will be priced at more like $2-3000, though. Rumor is that it will be 4k resolution. As for providers, they will probably partner will one or two at first as exclusives, just like they did with AT&T, and that will pressure all the others to jump onboard as well.

And yes, the more iStuff you have the more sticky it will be. I'm certainly not going to switch to Android and lose all the movies and apps I have on iCloud. Even a Samsung exec admitted he uses macs and iPhones at home because of how well they work together.
