Remains of the Day: Batter up!

12.07.2011

9to5Mac received a tip that the Apple TV iOS 5 beta may enable support for Bluetooth devices, leading the publication to assume that Apple may have something keyboard-related in mind for its entertainment hobby box. Whether that implies that the Apple TV may be getting support for third-party apps doesn't so much matter to me--I'd just be happy for a faster physical way of searching YouTube than my Apple Remote.

Speaking of keyboards, Apple's next-generation MacBook Air may get an illuminating upgrade--in the form of backlit keys. So, um. , is it considered bad form to break up with your first-generation 11-inch over a keyboard change? (Don't worry, Paperweight. I still love you. Even if I do have to rely on the faint glow of your very small screen to type at night.)
