AirPlay and iOS’s Endgame
Shadoe Huard via Smarterbits
The notebook, the desktop, the PC as we know it, are all nearing the end of their relevance. They may not disappear altogether, so long as iOS, Windows Phone, Android and webOS are still designed and given life on them, but their day in the sun is ending; dusk is fast approaching. The only question that remains is how tablets and smartphones will finally gain those few characteristics that still make notebook and desktops valuable to consumers.
If Apple can improve the latency between the iOS device and display I feel that this is exactly how the future of computing will pan out. Any display is a potential monitor for your device. Also think of the possibility of the Apple TV simply becoming a tiny adapter stick that plugs into the HDMI port of any non AirPlay enabled monitor.
