CNET UK Credits Claim That Apple Will Release Networked TVs

Posted by timothy on from the logical-progression dept.

r2k writes "While the Apple rumours posted yesterday highlight some of the most commonly talked-about opinions, a writer for CNet UK sat down with Mahalo's Jason Calacanis, who told CNet he knew for a fact that Apple is developing fully networked LCD TV sets. As the writer points out, Apple dropped 'Computer' from its company name for a very good reason."

    TFA does not tell more except it is 802.11n. Not sure whether I am paranoid, but will anybody on road will be able to hack in my TV and show something I don't want to see?

    ...they could open up a whole new market.

    i see a net-equipped TV, with a minimal ARM-based computer built-in, running a lightweight itunes; shows are bought and played entirely with the remote, which has a simple kb for searching for stuff and entering credit card info.

    owners could then download shows straight to the tv, which has an upgradable hard drive/flash module

    people don't necessarily want a computer, they want to watch tv
