Apple To Start Making TVs?

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-want-my-iTV dept.

timothy writes "Apple might want to sell you your next TV,' says this CNN report. Which makes a lot of sense, considering that Apple's razors-and-blades, vertical-marketplace model for iTunes (and the various iDevices) doesn't make as much sense with the world of TV, where your Sony, Samsung, or (egads!) Westinghouse set is just as happy with a Google TV box, or a Roku, or one of many other media devices, as it is with an Apple TV attached."

    Price doesn't matter. iTards will buy anything if it's shiny and white. In fact, they'll demand to pay two or three times the normal market price of similar devices. After all, how else are they suppose to feel elite?
