Rumor Mill: RIP Apple TV?

by Terrence O'Brien on September 29, 2008 at 05:13 PM


Rumors are swirling that the Apple TV will be replaced tomorrow by a new device, potentially a media-centric low cost Mac that would sit somewhere between the current Apple TV (which lets you access your iTunes videos and buy iTunes TV Shows and movies on any TV in the house via Wi-Fi) and the Mac Mini (a computer) in capabilities. We've been predicting the death of Apple's seemingly forgotten media streamer for sometime, so this comes as potentially welcome news.

According to an e-mail sent to The Unofficial Apple Weblog, Apple stores and resellers have been instructed to remove and destroy all Apple TV displays and literature by tomorrow and return the set-top-boxes to Cupertino.

The e-mail also mentions a September 30 webcast "kick-off" event. If the Apple TV really is prepped for a successor, we won't have to wait to long to find out. [From: TUAW]
