Has Apple TV been a flop?

[nycomet]

I have been an fan of Apple for as long as I can remember. Over the years Apple has really irritated me with some of its decisions. I despise the fact that Apple does not allow Flash on ipads and iphones.

Apple TV is an interesting device. I do like how I can mirror my ipad and iphone on my 55-inch screen. But It burns my azz that Apple will not add apps such as Vudu, CinemaNow or Amazon Instant Video to the Apple TV. Obviously they are competition and being such they must be banned. But yet one can install apps from those service providers on the ipad and iphone. Why not include them on Apple TV?

The good news is one can access Netflix or Hulu on Apple TV. It can also stream our music, photos, TV shows and movies?

But is it enough? I would like it more if it included a built in web browser. It should also include SD and USB ports. Maybe I am asking too much since the device has iCloud access and one can mirror the ipad and iphone on the big screen via Apple TV.

I do like Apple TV, but because I use Vudu, I also have a Roku 2 XS. It's not perfect either, but together, both boxes (hockey pucks, actually) do enhance the overall TV viewing experience for me.
