For me Im just happy that Amazon, Crackle, and Netflix are ready
 
The only app I'm curious about is YouTube. It is strangely not listed for video apps. I'm wondering if it will be utilized through IE.

That list pretty much covers my needs except maybe the Xfinity app. I can already do a lot of that directly thru my HDTV and/or TiVo Raomio so no deal breakers for me either way.
 
Looking forward to Netflix and CW apps. In case I miss Arrow and Supernatural.

Applications are already ready for launch. This is a good thing.
For once, I really feel that Microsoft is ready to launch the Xbox One.

The launch will be successful without a doubt. I hope we will have no bad surprises. Nevertheless, presue all these applications require abonnnement u Xbox Live or an additional subscription.

Nothing surprising well, there is already accustomed.
I look forward to the launch date of the console.
 
Yes...where is the youtube app? I'm sure it will be there.
On a side note, I wonder if the K2 will recognize words going as far as to type what you say into a browser?
 
All I really care about is Netflix. I really hope the app holds up well to the other ones and that it doesn't have any trouble at launch. In fact, I hope it's a little more advanced than we're used to with other consoles. It can be a pain to find things sometimes.

Interesting question. If not, I'm hoping a keyboard accessory will become available.

Just saw a video on how skype would work - looks awesome.
the camera going after the participant, zooming, recognizing faces and doing all commands by voice.
The future has come
 
The app variety seems so-so. I would definitely expect more in the near future, but since its almost released - let it be.The absence of YouTube is weird, though
 
Great news.I can see my HULU, Yeah! Internet explorer is a bit slow, according to the demo i watched earlier, but i am sure they would fix it before the release
 
I am curious about YouTube. If it won't be on the list, i would have to end up using IE, which, in my opinion would not be the perfect solution.
Nevertheless, a good app list. Thanks for sharing
 
I am looking forward to Netflix the most. I am really looking forward to everything that the Xbox One has to offer. It will be the greatest part of the new year ending lol.

IE has youtube implemented perfectly, why would you be so unsure?
Devs have it all covered. As for the youtube app, i am sure there would be one - demand creates apps, simple as that
 
amazon prime
netflix
redbox instant

^^^^ :) ^^^^^^

i wish they would offer the tv apps like they do on the 360. specifically the time warner cable app. i think it would be harder for them to use the xb1 tv tuner/timewarner together.. maybe later.
 
I'm interested to see what the Xbox Fitness is all about. Have their been any details released about that? With the Kinect integrated into the new console, I can see some real potential to that.
