Apple reportedly discussing its ‘vision for the way forward for TV’ with media execs

We wouldn’t bet the farm on those “Apple is building an HDTV” rumors just yet, but tonight the Wall Street Journal reports the corporate continues to be interested invading the lounge in a true way, in line with “vague” talks with media executives. That vision features a TV that packs wireless streaming with AirPlay to deliver TV shows and films in addition technology it’s developed to tie-in DVR storage and iCloud, but in addition makes a speciality of personalized, synchronized access across other devices including phones and tablets. Naturally, voice and gesture recognition are mentioned, although the reports indicate Apple itself is staying cagey about what devices it’s engaged on and that it hasn’t tried to license content for any new products — yet. Getting media and telecommunications companies to play ball with any solution often is the key (just ask CBS why it turned down Apple once before ) to creating this all go — or no less than beating efforts by Google and Microsoft to the punch — so there’ll likely be more boardroom leask before we discover out exactly what hardware plans can be in store.
