Canada’s largest newspaper, the Globe and Mail, today said Apple has been working with wireless and wireline providers including Rogers and Bell to partner with the AppleTV.
More interestingly, some details of this new AppleTV are provided:
The Globe and Mail goes on to quote analysts including Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Misek that we discussed earlier who also said Apple was collaborating with ISPs to deliver TV content to a next generation AppleTV. Perhaps the biggest proponent of an AppleTV outside of Cupertino, Gene Munster, gave his latest assessment of the situation last week, calling for one of three scenarios happening before the end of the year.
Viewers can then control the TV by voice or hand gestures, all from the comfort of a couch. An on-screen keyboard, meanwhile, can also be activated in a similar manner, allowing viewers to surf the web, conduct video chats and use social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook – all without any physical interface.
