iTV can't get here soon enough

http://www.macrumors.com/2013/04/03/analyst-claims-60-inch-itv-could-launch-in-late-2013-with-iring-motion-control-and-ipad-like-auxiliary-screens/
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.
