Three recent bits of news suggest that Apple will announce something
significant about Apple TV on Tuesday.
Apple has been making a lot of new content deals with cable systems
and content providers that are on their way to attaining a critical mass
for consumers. Elgan writes that “for high-end TV enthusiasts, the
Apple TV experience will become ‘indispensable,’ while individual cable
subscriptions will be ‘dispensable.’” Deals with HBO, ESPN , Disney and perhaps now AMC are making Apple TV an all-in-one solution for more an more consumers.
Second, strange sightings on
the French and German Amazon sites indicated the current Apple TV as
out of stock but coming in stock on October 23, a day after the Apple
announcement. This may be as erroneous as a previous rumor
about a consignment recieved by Apple of “set top boxes” from China in
September, but both rumors align with the common sense notion that Apple
is due to drop a new Apple TV generation. www.forbes.com
