Missing Features on Apple TV May Affect Investors

The Apple TV is missing some key features, and in the short term that may disappoint investors. It may be better to wait until the iPhone surge later in the year, according to SeekingAlpha on Friday.
The lack of DVR functionality, the inability to stream from a DVD to the Apple TV, and the inability of the Apple TV to capture TV and stream it back to the computer may be cause for concern by investors.
"Because of these missing features, it’s my opinion that investors will be disappointed by Apple TV sales. After we see the stock drop from these missed sales it will be a good time to buy in and prepare for the incoming iPhone," Aaron Wilcox wrote.
While Apple’s computers are superior and the iPhone has great features, the author suggested waiting, and concluded, "I don’t think we’ll see any exciting numbers from the Apple TV and we still have to wait until June before the iPhone comes out. Not to mention with the anticipation of the iPhone we might see some iPod cannibalization. I would recommend buying into Apple at least by May."
iPO notes that some of the issues cited as weaknesses are related to licensing and copyright issues that Apple must adhere to. Whether the investors perceive these design details as a critical shortcoming will unfold in the coming months.
