Yesterday I mentioned that the rumor mill was claiming that suppliers were getting ready to start gathering the materials needed to build the new Apple HDTV being called the iTV so far. Today more rumors have surfaced with sources telling DigiTimes that other major firms in Taiwan may win contracts to provide components for the iTV. Read The Full Story

Apple iTV Tipped in March 2011 Patent Listing, Full Fledged Apple Television Again Questioned

, Jun 27th 2011 Discuss [1]

When it comes to Apple products working with the television, it's generally either hit or miss - for example I, personally, have it in my column signature that I use an iPad for a VCR, playing Netflix shows with it all day long (that is, before and after work, of course.) Up until recently, the app didn't function well unless you had it turned to portrait mode. Recently an update fixed this and it's perfect. Similarly, I've got a friend who purchased an Apple TV and used it for a week, then never touched it again, while I've got an uncle who has the same unit and has used it basically every day since he got it. Today we find an application for iTV, a name for a product that may well push Apple to the brink of one of our most universally American products since the dawn of color sets. Read The Full Story

Apple Special Event on September 1st, We’ll Be There Live

, Aug 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

It’s probably not surprising at all, really. Just today, we brought you the rumor that Apple would be holding some kind of event, primarily focused on their iPod Touch, and perhaps even on Apple’s upcoming revamp of AppleTV (iTV), on September 7th. That didn’t last long at all, really, because Apple has just gone on their rounds and sent out the standard, yet provocative email inviting us to their brand new special event coming next week.

Apple iPod/iTV event tipped for September 7th

, Aug 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

Bloomberg's suggestion that Apple were planning $0.99 TV show rentals distracted us from perhaps more imminent news: that their sources reckon the company is preparing a September 7th event in San Francisco.  That, it's claimed, would see a new Apple TV - tipped to be renamed the Apple iTV - debut, alongside the fourth-generation iPod touch.

, Aug 23rd 2010 Discuss [1]

Apple's plans for the Apple TV continue to gather a halo of rumors, with Digg founder Kevin Rose throwing his own insider gossip into the ring.  According to Rose, a smaller, iOS-based set-top box isn't the only exciting thing about the rebanded "iTV": it will also allow content providers to use iAds to monetize their shows, bypassing traditional cable and satellite distribution.  Meanwhile the iPad will be repurposed as "one big badass remote control".

, Aug 20th 2010 Discuss [2]

What look to be three new pieces of Apple hardware have shown up in an internal build of iOS 4.1, according to details leaked to AppleInsider.  The beta firmware - apparently scheduled for release in a few weeks time - mentions the "iPod 4,1" (a fourth-generation iPod touch), the "iProd 2,1" (tipped to be a significant update to the iPad) and, most mysteriously, a device only listed as "unknownHardware".  It's speculated that the latter could be Apple's upcoming refresh of the Apple TV.

Apple TV to Become iTV, Gain Applications

, Aug 11th 2010 Discuss [2]

One product that Apple has seemingly skipped over again, and again, over the last few months is Apple TV. Everyone was wondering, with the launch of the iPad, where Apple TV stood amongst the Apple-branded products, and how it would relate in today's market. Always seen as a niche product, and more of a project rather than a mainstream product, Apple TV seemed to be just there, and nothing more. But, alas, things change, and now Apple TV is changing, too. Read The Full Story
