for Apple and if you guess designer turtlenecks you're probably wrong but if you guess Apple TV you might be right now in the book SJ tells Walter Isaacson I'd like to create an integrated television set that's completely easy to use it would be seamlessly sync with all of your devices and with iCloud no longer would users have to fiddle with complex remotes for DVD players and cable channels it

clunky remotes will be Seri The Times reports that apple officials knew as far back as 2007 that they wanted to make a dedicated TV and their sources also claimed a year ago that there were large parts floating around for Apple's prototype supply chain that looked like they could be parts of an Apple TV as well now doesn't appear that a standalone Apple TV is still coming anytime soon but analysts are guessing by the end of 2012 for 2013 release now another way you might be able to control your TV could be with the use of hand gestures after a patent application from Apple was made public and specifically points to hands off control on devices like the iPhone and iPad without touching the device now the goal is to minimize the need to physically interact with these devices because of their smaller size but we can also see this being applied to larger screens as well now in other future Apple product news how could we not mention the ipad 3 Cena reports from sources that one of the biggest challenges for manufacturers is making a dense 10.1 inch screen with a retina display like resolution now currently LG and Samsung can get displays that are twice the resolution of the ipad 2 but the challenge is making large quantities to meet apple's demands for a product that's really a quantum leap in pixel density and if they can't do it we can all get excited with the ipad 2 s alright let's take a quick break and check out our iPhone app of the week it's Halloween and everyone is carving pumpkins so why not check out the carve a pumpkin app it's free and you'll pick a
