    Apple could be working on television Netflix_menu20100901

    We know Apple already sells Apple TV. But it might be working on an
    another kind of Apple TV--as in an Apple-branded television, not a
    set-top box that hooks up to your TV.
    Eagle-eyed bloggers at 9to5 Mac noticed a job listing today that Apple posted that leaves little doubt it's something the company is at least exploring.
    The listing asks, rather benignly, for someone who wants to work on "new
    power management designs and technologies." But in what will Apple use
    this new power-management technology? The listing goes on to say that it
    will be used for "Apple's next-generation Macintosh platforms spanning
    from notebook computers, desktop computers, servers, standalone
    displays, and TV."
    It's safe to say that if Apple were going to advertise a job listing to
    work on generic product types, it would use the term set-top box or
    something similar to describe Apple TV in its current incarnation, since
    "TV" in any other context refers to a display, not a box. But it
    specifically says "TV."
    Making and selling a TV really wouldn't be that much of a stretch for
    Apple. Everyone has a television, so there's a built-in set of customers
    already. Apple makes some of the most well-regarded monitors
    on the market, and what are monitors but (basically) TVs without a TV
    antenna? Plus, Apple's got a growing video empire in iTunes, and though it likes to call it a hobby, with Apple TV it shows the company is interested in being in the living room, not just the office, car, coffee shop, or your backpack or purse.
    You might wonder, rightly, who in their right mind would want to enter
    the television business these days. Rapid commodification, easily copied
    features, and being forced to find new ways to display content that make people buy a new TV every couple years (HD, 3D, Internet-connected TVs) all make it a rough industry to be in right now. Of course the same could be said about PCs and mobile phones, but Apple has demonstrated it knows how to reap profits in both those industries in ways its competitors haven't.

    Oh of course. Everything from Apple is stupidly expensive. I would see only rich people who make 200 thousand a year buy one of those things. Although, it may be expensive for a reason because I predict that Apple will have the best quality when it comes to resolution, and contrast ratio.

    I bet it will be clearer than the clearest picture today.

    I have a Mac Book Pro as well. I love it. But AppleTV is kinda useless if you ask me. If you want to rent movies, I would rather go with Netflix or Redbox where things are cheaper.
