Apple flat-screen TV rumor rises yet again ? The Register

Isaacson recounts a conversation with Jobs, "'I'd like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use,' he told me. 'It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud.' No longer would users have to fiddle with complex remotes for DVD players and cable channels. 'It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it.'"

I say something along these lines would clean up. Most current media streamers have a really poor user interface, something Apple is renowned for excelling at.

Not sure I'd buy a full TV just for that feature, but if they evolved Apple TV to do full media streaming, PVR, and maybe even blu-ray playback it would be a contender.

Come on Apple sell me something new.

You'd want the full lot really
so - TV decoding and PVR
Media streaming from local sources and connected drives
Media streaming from external sources
Media from an internal drive (which has been downloaded and saved)
Updatable software in the form of Apps
iTunes (naturally)
Full internet browsing (except for flash of course)
Wireless connectivity to iphone and ipads to view photos and videos
and Teletext

Expect Apple to release their own version and then start suing the competition.

Didn't you know that "John Logie Baird" is an anagram of "Steve Jobs will rule the world from his grave!" - give or take a few letters

FYI
When I said google Smart TV I meant use google to search for Smart TV, not Google's product called Smart TV.
