Steve Jobs Claimed He Had "Cracked" Integrated Television Set
As we mentioned earlier, we have started seeing excerpts and quotes from Steve Job's official biography by Walter Isaacson that is expected to be released on Monday, October 24th, appearing online.
One such interesting excerpt is about Steve Jobs comments on television sets, which seems to suggest that Apple may launch its own Apple branded television sets in the future.
The excerpts were published by Washington Post:

Like he said when he left . that he left apple but left her with a lot of unseen products and will be coming out in the course of the years untill 2015
-
I'll buy one if it could be jailbroken
-
I wouldn't buy a full TV. But I would definitely buy an apple STB that does all that has been described in this article, but is instead plugged into your existing tv (just like an apple tv but more feature rich).Maybe this would come out additionally. If it is just an integrated tv, I don't see this selling very well.
-
You think Samsung will sue them if they made a rectangular slim Tv?
-
Samsung will make the sets for them, Apple will put their logo and software.
-
Guys just remember what I said if apple launch a tv set they will double the profitbig time and they will be huge. but they needsome sharp people like jobs not lazy hateredguys.
-
I'll take one. This was written with siri.
-
two thing I need in the future smart tv by appleand ultra high speed fiber network by googleyou can download 1gbps cost $300 a month.
-
you do realize that it was Apple who first sued Samsung claiming they had the patent for "rectangular" shaped tablets? So you're comment basically makes you look like a dumbass now.
-
No doubt. Lol
-
Lol Siri is taking over internet
-
I think MrEvil is using what we call irony, anakin.
-
I'll buy it if siri is included....that way I can just say "go to bbc1" nice.Otherwise if I had a 4S I would expect to be able to understand when I say "record BBC David Attenborough life of mammals" and it understand, even when I'm on the tube heading home.
-
After which Samsung would again copy them :P
-
And what happens after 2015? Bit full of himself, ole' Steve, by the sounds of things...
-
BTW, loving that I don't have to wait for the page to reload for replying to someone's comment

The Smart TV market is cutthroat - Apple would have to make a very, *very* compelling case for customers to pay the usual Apple premium - and even then it'd be difficult, because a lot of people forego features on their TV's for larger size. Will be interesting to see if they do anything, though.
-
Apple tv with call time and Siri as remote hmmm
-
Sounds like Siri will soon change the name to "SkyNet!" There goes humanity......... LOL!
-
HAHA: Skynet Integrated Remote Interface
-
iMacs and iTV is stupid. If the computer breaks you lose your TV/monitor, and if the screen breaks you lose your computer. And be prepared to throw out your TV every year when the iTV 'S' comes out with a handful of pointless features last year's model doesn't have due to nothing but software restrictions.
-
To me it seems simple. They probably just took an iPad's processor power, by 2012 they will make a 40", 50" and 60" models, now wall mountable with hdmi and coax input. Behold, The iPad Apple TV! Fine print: Retina Display apple televisions coming in 2015.
-
I want a television that could grab all kind of TV channels from all around the world (There are millions of them) and stream any TV channel through fibre optics. There are so many TV channels to explore but we are limited with stupid regional restrictions!
-
I wouldn't mind an update to the Apple TV2 where they use the A5 processor and bump the ram to 1 GB. I have no problem with connecting a tiny box to a standard flat panel tv if Apple doesn't come out with one or if it's priced too steep.
-
Doesnt mean i wouldnt like an apple tv set but it would depend on the price. Knowing apple, it would be quite high. Just saying...
-
Ya think. lol I know what you mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I think if this were true they would be around sonys prices with their bravia line. I would still buy Samsung series what ever number it is by that time. But in the end I don't think it would be profitable for apple. They would have to convince people to buy a new tv every other year. Who in their right mind would do that. Wait this is apple here the same company that convinced millions of idots to buy a smart phone every single year.
-
Try asking Siri, just might answer that question...
-
With Siri compatibility and touch screen functions....That would be cool....
-
I think Siri was what was needed for apple to make a tv. Using touchscreen to control tv is kinda going back to the days of no remotes, and using a normal type remote for controlling tv is no different from what were already doing. But with Siri and FaceTime on a tv would be a game changer. Kinda like back to the future 2
