iTV can't get here soon enough

The guys at Macrumors.com are reporting some new speculation about the new TV set coming out from Apple in the very near future. Before you even speculate about how Apple is going to make it better, you need to ask why wouldn't they get into the TV space? Have you been to Best Buy or "You fill in the blank" Big Box electronic retailer lately? Who out there has a better TV than Samsung? No one. Samsung is is putting such a hurting on the other TV manufactures that companies like Toshiba and Panasonic are having trouble making sales. So if Samsung is the industry leader in flat panel TV's and their biggest competitor who happens to be suing them on a daily because they continue to steal ideas and down right copy some of their designs, then you better believe Apple is chomping at the bit to get some piece of the pie. As an iOS proponent I would love to have my iphone, ipad and (future iWatch) have the ability to sync-up with my TV. Not to mention that Apple really does a great job with hardware and I know the TV that is talked about in the article would be phenomenal. It even mentioned it possibly being a 4K (Ultra HD) set. Can you imagine a 60 inch Retina display. Wow! that would be nice. In regards to Apple changing the industry, that will yet to be determined. The major networks aren't likely to hand over the keys to Apple, but just like with Blu-Ray, cd's and other cell phones. Apple has revolutionized the video and audio industries with iTunes and the cell phone industry with the iPhone so don't expect if they revolutionize the way people use TV that there won't still be Satellite and cable. Lets just hope they do as good a job with the new iTV as they did with iTunes and the iPhone.

Windows 8, with a touch screen

The next time you are in Best Buy, be sure to check out the row of  "All-In-One" PC's with Windows 8 installed. On the next isle you may come across the normal desktop PC's and you'll find one key difference in the All-In-One with Windows 8 versus the standard desktop PC. The desktop PC does not have a touch screen.
Ok, lets back up a little here. Windows 8 is the latest operating system by Microsoft. It was released last Fall and for the most part it looks and feels like Microsoft's phone operating system. It has moving tiles when you first boot up. Now, this is kind of cool, and it really is neat to touch on a tile and execute it from the screen. The best experience is via a touch screen. Unfortunately it's not a cheap technology. While that row of  All-In-One PC's has the touch capability, the normal desktops mostly do not. So, spend about a couple hundred more for the equally equipped All-In-One and you get that feature. Is it worth it to you? Well, try it out for your self!

Why the iWatch would be cool

So, the rumors have been hot over the last couple months about the next smart watch that Apple could be releasing soon, and here are the top 5 reasons it could be great!
5) Who doesn't need a smart watch? Most watches only tell time and can you imagine how Apple could spice that up!
4) The iWatch (or whatever Apple decides to name it) would sync with your iPhone and iPad. Can you say iCloud on your wrist?
3) If biometrics is used it could easily allow you to log into the watch and its tech features by pressing your finger to the face of the screen.
2) Answering a call without having to pull the phone out of your pocket or purse would be slick! "Who is calling me"? Just look down at your watch!
1) Safety and convenience. Walking around with a $600 iPhone can be dangerous in some areas. Peering at your watch (depending on how well it resembles other watches) may deter a would-be criminal.
