Apple iTV detailed by Best Buy
Do you like this story?
It sure is, although there is now a big twist in the tale. And that's because, despite all the juicy details, the digital survey may not have anything to do with Apple's move into the living room at all.
Since The Verge reported on the supposed leak, Best Buy has admitted to Wired that it was a practice survey and no details were official. Hmmmmm.
"The customer survey was a routine offer effectiveness survey conducted by one of Best Buy’s research partners," the retailer told the US site. "Any brand reference was hypothetical. The survey is no longer available."
It sounds a bit fishy to us though, especially given the reports doing the rounds now that Apple iTV prototypes are already in testing at Bell and Rogers in Canada.
Canadian paper The Globe and Mail, states "Rogers and Bell already have the product in their labs" due to the "wireless and broadband capabilities". The report also says that iTV will include Siri voice control as well as hand gestures, video chat, and an on-screen keyboard.
The Best Buy survey mentions a 42-inch 1080p TV that runs iOS and has access to the App Store. iCloud support is mentioned as being on board as is an iSight camera (for Skype though and not FaceTime which sounds suspicious). The "dummy" survey mentions a price-tag of $1,499.
It's all a bit wishy-washy we know. The Best Buy survey definitely reeks of a bit of a balls-up, creating unnecessary hype for a hypothetical device and we know that, here in Blighty, networks don't even get access to new iPhone models before the official Apple announcement so we're not convinced Canadian networks would be on board as of yet.
While it's not really clear what's real and what's not, one thing is for sure - Apple TV is on the horizon and could be the next Apple tech revolution....maybe.
