Mentre Rai e Mediaset erano intente a perdere il treno di Netflix, a Cupertino stringevano un accordo per portare HBO su Apple TV e per estensione sui device mobili della mela morsicata.

Questione di priorità.

Il Wall Street Journal sui piani di Apple per rivoluzionare contenuti e mercato televisivo.

Apple is also working on its own television that relies on wireless streaming technology to access shows, movies and other content, according to people briefed on the project.

In the recent meetings with media companies, the Apple executives, including Senior Vice President Eddy Cue, have outlined new ways Apple's technology could recognize users across phones, tablets and TVs, people familiar with the talks said.

In at least one meeting, Apple described future television technology that would respond to users' voices and movements, one of the people said. Such technology, which Apple indicated may take longer than some of its other ideas, might allow users to use their voices to search for a show or change channels.

Apple is still saying little about what specific software and devices it is working on. The people familiar with the meetings said the Cupertino, Calif., company was "vague" and that Apple hasn't made proposals to license shows for any new product offering.

L'ultimo sogno di Jobs sarebbe stato rivoluzionare il piccolo schermo, creando quella convergenza completa tra tv, internet e device avanzata da tempo, ma sempre disattesa.

I'd like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use. It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud. It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it.

Niente iTV, resta il vecchio Apple Tv. Diventa più piccola e senza memoria interna. Tutto viaggerà in streaming.
Per 99 dollari resta un giocattolino interessante negli Stati Uniti. Oltre oceano potrà essere sfoggiata come un bel soprammobile.

La partita con Google per conquistare la tv è ancora tutta da giocare. Quello che traspare è che resterà una sfida tutta americana.

L'evento Apple di oggi sarà disponibile in streaming. Solo su Mac con Snow Leopard e Safari o su device che montano iOS.

Kevin Rose non ha dubbi. L'iTV spaccherà di brutto e arriverà a settembre.

Com'era prevedibile il (probabile) cambiamento di nome di Apple Tv in iTV non è andato giù a quelli di ITV.

La tv come sarebbe sempre dovuta essere.
Di Apple. A 99 dollari. Con 16 GB di memoria flash. Applicazioni. iOS. E senza il supporto ai video 1080p/i.
Non più il semplice "passatempo" un tempo noto come Apple Tv.

Revolution. Again.

La nuova Apple Tv. Piccola, con un cuore derivato da iPhone OS e con un prezzo intorno ai 100 dollari.
Qualcuno già la definisce "un iPhone senza schermo".

A tip we've received -- which has been confirmed by a source very close to Apple -- details the outlook for the next version of the Apple TV, and it's a doozy. According to our sources, this project has been in the works long before Google announced its TV solution, and it ties much more closely into Apple's mobile offerings. The new architecture of the device will be based directly on the iPhone 4, meaning it will get the same internals, down to that A4 CPU and a limited amount of flash storage -- 16GB to be exact -- though it will be capable of full 1080p HD (!). The device is said to be quite small with a scarce amount of ports (only the power socket and video out), and has been described to some as "an iPhone without a screen." Are you ready for the real shocker? According to our sources, the price-point for the device will be $99. One more time -- a hundred bucks.
