Except for a line in Isaac's Jobs bio about how he had cracked the TV problem, there really isn't any evidence "from Apple" that a TV is in the works at all. Analysts and speculators love to insist that that's what they think they're doing, but that shouldn't be confused with what they're actually doing.
That being said, the way we consume media is changing so fast. Going online and finding video on-demand, streaming and downloading, is the new trend. Cable is antiquated, it is limited, and it is overpriced. Finding a medium between the two is definitely the holy grail of future media, but it's going to be a huge effort to wrangle the content from the cold, strong greedy grip of the cable empires.
- People are willing to pay, but only if access is simple and streamlined. Cable is anything but right now.monospaced
- who said a tv as such? I was thinking more a platform and method of delivering and viewing content. TV schedules will not exist for much longer.fadein11
