According to latest Digitimes report, Apple will launch both a 32-inch and 37-inch iTV this summer, which will presumably have all the features of the Apple TV integrated along with "the simplest user interface you could imagine."
The 32-inch model could be targeted towards college kids or as sets for the bedroom, and at least it would be bigger than Apple's current 27-inch Thunderbolt display.
The 38-inch model would indeed be relatively small compared to some of the behemoths dominating today's households, so Apple would need to convince the masses that its integrated technology would compensate for any size difference.
Earlier, according to a Wall Street Journal report, Apple has been briefing media executives on a new Apple television that can stream "shows, movies, and other content." The Journal spoke to "people familiar with the matter" that say Apple executives, including senior VP of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue, have detailed a system that would respond to user's voice and movements, and use voice to search for shows or change channels.
Another person familiar with the matter told the Journal that these new services would work on "Apple's existing technologies, which include its Apple TV set-top box." In addition, users watching content on a mobile device will be able to move between devices, and resume viewing in the same spot on the TV set via AirPlay, functionality not currently available and that "may take longer" to appear than other TV concepts. Apple hasn't solely been contacting executives; the Journal notes that media companies have been reaching out to Apple for an update on its upcoming strategy.
