Apple TV arriving soon.
Anyone going to take the plunge? Perfect timing for me, I last bought a TV when the XBox 360 came out and it's served me well. Hopefully it lasts until Q3 when I predict this game changer will arrive.
Apple will of course be redefining the way we view television, rumours so far are 42", Siri Voice control and Gestures via front facing camera. I'm sure there'll be a whole lot more innovation included, but we'll have to wait and see.
At last an Apple product that the Mods can't move to Computer Related

I'll wait until Panny have had purchased their Apple TV stripped it down and built their own superior version at a 5th of the cost, probably be Q1 2013

You have to realise that what makes Apple different from the pack is they're not only brilliant at producing hardware they're brilliant at producing software as well.

Well it won't be made by apple, probably a Samsung screen (like the iPad 3 will have ) so no real innovation, and probably over priced in an already saturated market, not a good move either as most people (including apple owners) will already have a specific brand of tv they prefer.

No hope for apple then
You need to catch up on the news a little Jack, just look who Samsung have been buying of late then you will see the big boys in this industry, and apple don't produce their own screens, bit of a killer if you want to produce tv's

Once again your arguments are a bit silly. Do you believe Samsung produce every component they use?
It'll be a great product no doubt about it, my Samsung TV is great too, don't know why you have to be so negative about something no one really knows anything about.

It's already been predicted that Microsoft are going to start making televisions as somewhere down the line, the Xbox and Playstation will be merged with the television offered by it's respective manufacturer.

That's great news, convergence is the way forward. I'll have my Apple TV for general entertainment and an Xbox TV in the games room.
