Apple is on a roll these days. iPhone 4G is on the way. iPhone OS 4.0 is almost ready to hit all the phones and guess what who is next in line. It’s the Apple TV. Engadget reports that Apple will be releasing the next iteration of their Apple Tv with A4 processor, 16 GB of flash storage and iPhone OS running the show. The thing has been described to Engadget as “an iPhone without a screen”, and its tiny, with only two ports, power and video out.
So where does all your media live ?? Up in the cloud mostly. Apple is trying to kill local storage and push everything through their iTunes service, streaming up to 1080p over the web or from other computers on your network. If you have a Time Capsule at home you can keep your stuff there and stream it. And then the price. 99 dollars !! The Apple TV selling right now is the 160GB one at 229 dollars, so this is less than half.
The codename is K66 and it has been turning up in the iPhone OS 4 betas for months now, but dont expect it at WWDC next month. App Store on your television ?? Nobody is confirming that yet. Stay tuned.
