File this under the “I’m dubious” department, but Nate Lanxon, CNET UK’s expert on digital music and portable media, says that Apple is working on a networked television. In a new blog he says that these LCD HDTVs will be fully networked, with the ability to stream all your iTunes content from your Mac or PC. They’ll function like a standard TV with an Apple TV box, only without the need for the box, Lanxon says.
Here’s what the reporter has to say: “Yesterday I spent a couple of hours here at the office with Valleywag’s most cherished and adored tech celebrity, Jason Calacanis. Love him or hate him, the bloke’s got contacts, and he confirmed to me that he knew first-hand that Apple was working on a networked television.
“In many ways, this isn’t surprising news, as Apple already produces a stunning 30-inch display for the Mac. So picture that—only thinner—in a bedroom, streaming iTunes movie rentals over 802.11n, controlled with the Remote app on an iPod touch or iPhone.”
