Apple HDTV: The rumor that refuses to die Rumors of an Apple TV set began circulating in 2009, and heightened last year with the release of Steve Jobs' biography. At that time, Jobs' biographer said the TV was in its planning stages, and it amuses me that people believe this as-yet-unconfirmed product will be coming out this year. It will take more than 12 months of work for this TV to get up to the speed of manufacturers who've been doing this for decades. Will it be a hit? Who can say? But if you look at Apple's track record of AV products it's not exactly a success story: the Apple HiFi is long out of production and despite some tweaks the Apple TV is still a "hobby." I don't know if Apple has it in itself to compete in the cutthroat world of TV sales.
