Forums - General - Rumor: Apple working on networked TV

According to Jason Calicanis, Apple may be working on networked TVs. If this is true, then it would be another area of expansion into what should be Sony's terrritory. They could even add casual gaming giving competition to Nintendo as well. They expanded into phones and are crushing the competition. They expanded into music and crushed the competition. Could they do the same with TV?

Around the Network

Now THAT is something that I have been saying TV's should be able to do for a long time. The technology is all there. Kudos, Apple. Maybe I don't even hate your guts so much after this.

Edit: I have seen some TV's implement DLNA technology already, so I don't know how that compares in quality to this.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I'm eagerly awaiting a 32" HDTV from Apple with a gorgeous GUI and ultra user-friendly features.

All for the low low price of $2,999.

i called bullocks, the iphone is not crushing anything, not even in sales... or market share.

 

nokia and samsung are though



Apple is kicking ass with the iPhone. For smartphones, they are growing at an insane rate and causing people to switch carriers like no other smartphone. You have to compare Nokia and Samsung smartphones to the iPhone, not all their phones since many of those products are very low margin.
