The last entry for this month’s web innovations blog is the Apple TV being an all around device for us to be really entertained within the comforts of our own home. We can hear music using the Apple TV and watch home made videos, and also scan through pictures using the chic device. Ain’t that impressive? It sure does.

But what’s lacking in this device is that for a device to be an overall home entertainment device should have the function of other gadgets like being able to play with DVDs that you bought, although it is possible with the remote disc feature, but it consumes a lot of energy when you do that. And there are other devices in the market that gives the consumers other features like the Xbox and the Playstation 3.

Although it really sucks that there are some flaws or there are lacking points in the Apple TV, I am really hoping and hoping hard that the people at Cupertino will do something and make this product THE Bomb for the ultimate entertainment experience.

Although the Apple TV is projected as a wireless device and that it can function with the built-in airport antennae, it can also have connectivity with the Ethernet cable. So this is a good news for people without wireless routers or wifi routers at home.

What’s lacking in the Apple TV or what’s left undeveloped is that if you have your own videos stored in your PC or Mac, and retrieve it using your IEEE 802.11n Apple TV, it really takes time to get it, as opposed to using the Ethernet cable where it is just a flash when it comes to retrieving DVD-rips and such.

Instant Messaging clients are one of the more important innovations so far regarding communications via the internet. However, the problem was that not every IM client can talk with the other. It started to change a few years ago when eventually, they opened up to some but still not all. Third party Ims then began creating software that allow you to chat with someone else from another IM client without logging out. One of the exemplary ones was meebo.

Meebo is an instant messaging software that runs inside a Web browser, as AIM Express, which supports multiple IM services, including Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, AIM, ICQ, Jabber and Google Talk. Meebo makes instant messaging services more accessible to users who are unable or unwilling to download the software necessary to implement them.
