Their monitors are GROSSLY overpriced compared to the competition. Should we expect the same from a television made by Apple? Also, I don't like the idea of having this built into a TV. I want to be able to get a brand new Apple TV for $200, not have to buy a new TV to get upgraded functionality. I guess this is kind of why I have never been enamored with the iMacs, sexy though they are.

I think for Apple to enter a new market, it'll be something entirely new. A few may assume DVR, but I don't even think that's the direction Apple should/would go. I see something more along the lines of browsing on the internet. They've certainly brought the internet to mobile device, why not take the natural next step and incorporate it into TVs. Pretty soon between your iPhone and your HDTV, the desktop as we know it will be obsolete. Whatever it is though, I sincerely hope it Hulu is involved, and hopefully an iTunes subscription model for video rentals to boot. Most likely wishful thinking... But one can still hope right?

It's been corrected. Otherwise, chill out a bit. @Craig: That was a typo based on misreading the CNET article. It’s been corrected. Otherwise, chill out a bit.

He'll be please to know he's now in their employ. Maybe they'll stop taking shots at him. If all you're going to do is regurgitate Apple rumor mongering that's been on dozens of sites before yours, how about at least bothering to learn who you're writing about. Ever heard of Google? You might try 5 minutes with it before hitting the SUBMIT on your posts from now on. Valleywag’s Jason Calacanis, huh?

I'm a fanboy, but I'm not sure I'd plunk down a few thousand clams on an Apple TV/HDTV hybrid. When a new Apple TV comes out with a beefier processor or more RAM, replacing your current one is only a few hundred bananas. However, that's not the case with an HDTV. That's a very painful upgrade.
