Stuff.tv: Time to forget all that talk of a slick new iPhone for a minute. Because Apple lovers are now turning their attention to plans for an iTunes integrated HDTV, putting the current Apple TV box right into your gogglebox.
It’s not the first time we’ve heard about such a device, but now the rumour has gained more credibility, with analyst Gene Munster suggesting a DVR–packing telly, with similar styling to Apple’s LED monitor, could be heading our way in 2011.
According to NetworkWorld.com, the device would allow you to sync TV shows wirelessly with your Mac, iPhone or iPod, taking whatever you’d recorded either off regular TV or downloaded from the iTunes store.

Grate Post!Apple TV is most like having a video iPod installed permanently in your living room, with some important additions. When you open up iTunes on your computer, it will appear like an iPod does in your ‘devices’ list. You can then sync or drop videos, music, photos and podcasts onto it. Like an iPod. These will sit on its hard drive, and allow you to access them without your computer being switched on. Like an iPod. You can then watch/listen to/look at these things on your telly (at 720p for video, which is the minimum standard for HDTVs at the moment).
