Apple Computer has skyrocketed into the spotlight during the past several years.  Ever since Steve Jobs took back his place as CEO, things are nothing but up, up, and even higher up for this company.  Being a PC user since 1998, I had only a vague awareness of Apple and their amazing machines until entering college, when I suddenly needed to learn the OS X interface and become familiar with their products, as I would be using them constantly as an Art Major.  Since the launch of the iPod, the trend used by Apple’s marketing has been all but “in-your-face,” making us want their slick white and titanium iPods and laptops without knowing why.  Apple is determined to become a household name even moreso with the advent of TV shows becoming available for purchase in the iTunes Music Store, the companion AppleTV, and the iPhone.  Apple is determined to burrow out a place in everyone’s lives and stick a shiny, glowing Apple logo there, especially in the world of consumer electronics.

Ever since the success of the iPod and iTunes Music Store, Apple seems bound and determined to expand that success to the living room.  Since integrating Front Row and the Apple Remote into all their desktops, they’ve managed to make it at least a bit easier for the average Joe to enjoy his music and movies.  The next step beyond that is the recently announced AppleTV, which hooks up to your TV and wirelessly grabs whatever’s in your iTunes library so you can watch it from the comfort of your couch.

But then, why waste time with a seperate piece of hardware?  Here and now, I believe, is the next big thing from Apple: the iCouch.

iCouch is a fully functional lounge piece with Apple’s innovative computer system built right in.  You can do ANYTHING with iCouch:

  • Surf the web on a brilliant, high-definition screen
  • Listen to music with iCouch’s front-mounted hi-fi speakers
  • Enjoy the liberation from tiny, hard to use keyboards with iCouch’s simple, easy to use keypads
  • iCouch comes in five colors; titanium white, pink, blue, green, and slick black; so you can find the iCouch to fit your lifestyle

With such an innovative integration of technology into your everyday lifestyle, Apple is confident that you will find the iCouch a true testament to the possibilities of home electronics.
