You just gave a real life example of how Apple beats every other platform because of its simplicity and ease of use. If your mom had an Apple TV and an iPad or iPhone, she wouldn't need your help to set up wifi streaming/AirPlay. All she has to do is push the big 'AirPlay' button that appears on the iPhone/iPad video itself and boom, her video or her iPad/iPhone screen is now 'magically' up on her HDTV. No setting up DLNA, shared media folders or any of that.Just the other day I was visiting my mom and she was talking about how she wanted an ipad (she is a BB user :S) so she could stream video to her TV and what not. I pointed out the fact that her TV already connects to her network and that in 2 minutes, I could have her computer streaming video to the TV with no extra devices. I simply enabled sharing on her media library and instantly she was able to view her media. Simple, and standardized. None of this Apple proprietary technology ****.
People can hate on Apple all they want, but they do make certain things incredibly easy for non-techie people to do by themselves.
