AT&T Working On iPhone, U-verse Integration

this will be the coolest app ever!!!!!!!

Can't wait ^^

I think this could be a big software market for a lot of entertainment center systems. There could be a universal remote app that uses wifi and could control all your equipment. Companies like TiVo and DirecTV should definitely adopt this for their devices as well.

THIS IS LONG OVER DUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was proud of my iPhone until a friend of mine showed me his Verizon LG phone can get TV Shows, ESPN and live football games...

I BLAME WACK ASS AT&T for dragging feet on this one...

The only thing Apple can hope for is that Slingbox steps up to the plate since its clear that AT&T is not cutting edge.

This is why people in Japan are not impressed with the iPhone so much. There is not enough outside thinking compaired to the phones ive seen in Japan.

being able to throw virtual tomatoes is the type of technology america needs to put us ahead of japan!

Good concept, likely bad implementation.

I for one hope Apple morphs AppleTV and a set-top box company into the device/service/software that ultimately becomes this thing.

Furthermore as I have said early on here, I hope Apple assists AT&T and its other telecommunications partners on equipping the cell sites and switch centers to acomodate 10x the users and 10x the bandwidth per user (100x total bandwidth).

When you get right down to it AT&T and other carriers are service providers with cherished real estate assets, retail outlets, and contractual assets.

Apple makes network hardware both on the server end and the user end, and excels at user end software, and is on par at server side software, and is evolving the connections.

AT&T does not buy or own set-top box designs, software, or factories. They buy commodity boxes and give them FREE to subscribers.

Hence why Apple TV is described as a "hobby".

It is time for Apple to really focus on media centers (set-top boxes) that integrate with Macs and iPhones.

It is time for Apple to massively improve worldwide telco switch centers, cell site bandwidth and capacity, and kick some friggin a$$.

Sprint is on the warpath.

wouldn't this mean apple would have to open up :apple:TV to live tv with a tivo sort of function?

i for one would love it and that is the component needed for me to buy it, otherwise it's just another box next to our tv. time to combine everything possible function wise into the apple tv and make it talk with the iphone!!

This sounds great.ATT is even now stringing new cable in my neighborhood to accommodate U-verse.They are my only hope to escape Charter-there's a small mountain blocking the satellites.Any impressions of U-verse from subscribers?

U-verse is TERRIBLE - poor customer service and a bad television service.

Don't affiliate Apple with such a waste of a product.

I've found U-verse to be great. Adding iPhone integration would be a very welcome addition.

Apple and AT&T have an exclusive partnership, a leg up to get people who have iphones to use thier TV service would be a defacto AT&T only slingbox player.

If I'm AT&T I do all I can to block sling from letting comcast / other providers in on the game. Espeically since many think they have better products.

Anyone else think this is bad news for Sling on the iPhone?
