Plus, I've argued it for awhile, but this year Apple and Google will increase their presence on TVs with their own devices. I actually expected them at their respective conferences recently, but I still think they are coming. Notice neither showed a new phone/tablet either.

What are you expecting from them, actual TVs or media boxes like the Xbone or what?

Google has it mainly in boxes but others like Sony have added it to their TVs.

Apple should revamp their tv box and there is that consistent rumor of some full apple branded TV. Though I'd think they would stick to just the box.

I'm hoping for a Nexus style GoogleTV box that I can get for $200 or less personally.

How do those boxes work? Would they replace a normal cable-TV box, or would they work like the XBbonex in that you need a cable-TV box too?
