Just when you think Apple cannot possibly come out with anything more, they can and do. Rumor has it Apple is coming out with their very own television. Yes they have their " Apply TV" but this my fellow readers is an actual TV. According to Forbes.com, Apple is taking the Television where no other company has taken it before.Taken from the article on Fobes, " Apple is working on a television set with an iTunes-integrated touch screen remote and Siri-like voice command technology." In addition, the TV will come with an Apple- branded game console that is similar to Microsoft's Kinect video game console. The Apple television set is supposed to come out at the end of 2012. I believe this TV will set the new standard for all future televisions. I mean, who are kidding, it was only a matter of time some company comes out with a television set like this. There was a point in time where "touch-screen" devices were simply too good to be true. Now a days, if a technology company doesn't carry a touch-screen device, they might as well consider themselves passe! I think this new Apple TV could be really cool and models as such will become the new norm of watching television. However, this just seems like a huge Ipad that you can hang in your living room. Television can be watched from almost any technological medium these days so realistically, how different is Apple's television set going to be from anything else that is out on the market?! What are you thoughts on Apple's rumored television set?!
Here is where I got the article from:

As an avid Apple product user I have to agree with you that I'm not surprised that they're talking about creating their own tv. The benefits seem really cool though and would definitely set an entirely new standard for what we think of as tv and how we watch it. Unlike some of their other products though, I think it would take a little while for the tv to 'catch on' and really gain a solid following. People like the convenience of their Apple products and having a huge iTouch as your tv isn't exactly an easy thing to adjust to and instantly invest in.
