I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I’m now actively discussing Apple, general technology, and food topics from my personal Twitter account (@horwitz), so for the first time, iLounge readers will actually have a reason to follow that account. Right before CES, the big topic was iPad 3. Around CES, we had a nice discussion regarding Apple’s upcoming TV. Today, the TV topic picked up again (see this news story), so I wanted to point you towards the discussion in process.
If this @technobuffalo report is true, expect iTV to sit right in the middle of Apple Stores, to show thinness + “hub.” technobuffalo.com/companies/appl… — Jeremy Horwitz (@horwitz) January 26, 2012
Several industries that will likely grow/develop after Apple iTV debut: add-on bezels. Big AirPlay speakers. Designer mounting solutions. — Jeremy Horwitz (@horwitz) January 26, 2012
Companies are going to want to accessorize Apple-designed TVs if they’re as stark as this.
But will consumers care? yfrog.com/hsnreoxj — Jeremy Horwitz (@horwitz) January 26, 2012
This is how crazy thin OLED TVs are going to be going forward. But do people want to buy video, audio parts separately? yfrog.com/h3dm7uorj — Jeremy Horwitz (@horwitz) January 26, 2012
As noted a moment ago to @technobuffalo‘s @noahkravitz – iTV may be a good place for Apple to use OS X (not Mac OS X any more) + Launchpad. — Jeremy Horwitz (@horwitz) January 26, 2012
The big discussion at @iLounge now is how far Apple will take wireless. Maybe it goes 100% AirPlay, with 802.11ac box for HDMI devices.
