Apple TV to go live

IMO
Apple will come out with NOT a TV top box - Rather a 52 inch iMac type of TV.

1 - Play any, cable or satellite service.
2 - Play any content off your computer.
3 - Play any content off your devices, PS3 or Xbox or WII or iPhone yada yada.
4 - Use the TV as if it was a computer.

Simply play content without having to buy other devices - All in One.

What price point are we talking about for this TV?

52" flat screen TV price range + Apple premium on top adds up to:
Expensive/high point.

Yeah, I see where there's a number of good brand flatscreens in the 46"-55" range, 1080P 120Hz, under $1000; and with a few brands such as LG with 42" 120Hz 1080P $481-499 ( so, last year the holiday season sub-$500 was a 42" 1080P, so it looks like this season sub-$500 will be a 42" lineup ).

So, I'd imagine next year sometime a 52" will be pretty cheap, so with cheap silicon for a standard-issue quick crashless webkit-c libs-javascript OS and wifi, if it was me, I'd be careful with that Apple premium and a crazy sick ridiculous price point. Besides, I think Google has inked or will ink deals with the likes of Sony ( for sure ), LG and the like, for Android TVs ( basically same thing: tv with webkit-javascript-c libs OS and wifi ).

That's interesting. We knew there was some reason for Jobs keeping AppleTV alive. Work the bugs out then integrate the ATV with a computer and a 52" screen. The iMac of the entertainment system, AIO.

That would be too little, too late.

There are dozens of TV that already do twitter, facebook, youtube, etc.

Any TV out there already plays any cable or satellite service or entertainment device like a PS3, and all of those stream content from your computers.

I know that I have one.

I am saying to have an all in one - meaning no 3rd party top box, and no game box either.

And a light weight OS like iOS.

But you wouldn't need the computer, it would be built in.
