CNET Apple Byte: Is Apple making their own television?

2011-06-24
what's crackin branch on here and welcome to the apple pie for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple let's get things started with new rumors that apple will finally be bringing their own branded television set to consumers by the end of the year now daily tech is reporting that a former apple executive says apple plans to blow Netflix and others away by bundling Apple TV and iTunes inside physical TV sets that would be manufactured by someone like Samsung and rebranded as an apple product the source said a fall launch with the target but it could be pushed to next year the question for all of you is do you need or one in apple branded TV if you already own an Apple TV that does netflix and streams your iTunes probably not plus a new feature in iOS 5 will allow you to wirelessly send content from your iPad to your TV as well now patently Apple also just showed off a patent application from the Cupertino kids for a live widget system that could display content on the fly over programming you watch for example we could vote for our favorite singer on American Idol lovers revenge you and me good or not or trivia and other information could be displayed and constantly changing while watching a sports game Oh ridiculous now the patent application also proposes that an Apple TV box would be used with traditional cable TV providers to access stations and the system could connect to services like iTunes and YouTube now all this is exciting but right now it's still rumors and speculation with the new details and patent applications point to something real coming together now we want to know what you guys think about this so send us your emails to the Apple by to cnet com and we'll throw them up next week but the apple TV rumor is not to be outdone by this report during the week from Boy jeans report that claims from their own sources that the iphone 5 will be a major update after all they report the next-gen iphone will support a new radical case design maybe something like this didja Times reports that a dual LED flash is coming according to part suppliers and boy genius also says Apple may hold a special announcement in the beginning or middle of August with availability to follow in the last week of August now we'll see about that but it might conflict with the exclusive Intel I've received for my own sources that tell me a desktop refresh for the next gen mac pro's and Mac minis will happen on the last week of July or the first week of August with my source of leaning towards August now the new desktop line will come pre-loaded with mac OS 10 lion and feature thunderbolt and Sandy Bridge processors these are the same sources that were right on the money with our imac launch dates though I'm sticking with them but bottom line do not buy these products and wait until August all right let's take a break and get to a couple of your emails are more 82 rights and with yo B yo what are the odds the new macbook air will be black in color now looks like slim to none at least this time around after a black macbook air rumor kind of set the internet on fire according to MacRumors our reader who claims to be an apple employee told them that apple tried to powdercoat the macbook airs in black as a test run but it soaked up too many body oils and jobs killed the idea because come on it made the computer look like crap so it looks like we won't be seen them anytime soon but personally I don't have a problem with body oil oh yeah now this one comes from Welsh dog hey skunk head next time you do lunch with jobs ask them what the hell they did to Final Cut Pro now you're not alone here and the message boards and forums have been anything but stellar for the hardcore Final Cut crowd Apple's latest releases changing directions with FCPX people have described it as I movie pro there's no multicam editing support at the moment and users are even complaining about incompatibility with earlier Final Cut project files Apple's told users they will be releasing updates to some of these issues but why even roll this out when they had to know users would be unhappy with FCP X in its current form they didn't have to do this and we're thrown out the bad apple to Apple for this one especially after there was a lot of genuine excitement for the product the current app store review two and a half stars now Final Cut Pro is 299 you can only download it from the mac app store and motion 5 and compressor for our 4999 as well in other new products Apple rolled out quietly this past week where new time capsules increasing it soars to two terabytes and 3 terabyte options starting at 299 and a new airport extreme with very little difference from the previous version that we can tell is available for 179 I'll write to the quick bites people if you're curious how people are using the iPad compared to other competitors on the market right now a study by comscore says in the US the iPad represents ninety-seven percent of all tablet traffic and eighty-nine percent across all markets that means a lot now t-mobile spokesperson told 9to5 mac that the carrier potentially soon to be merged with AT&T is home to over a million iPhones even though they don't even sell them here in the US now some people are using unlocked phones while others are trimming their sim cards by hand to fit the micro sim card slot and the
