Rumor has it that Apple’s working on a TV set, one that might run a variant of the iOS operating system. But does it make sense? Apple has long been in the set-top box market; you can already buy Apple TV for $99. But would Apple ever manufacture a set of its own? Apple, after all, has been trending upwards where screen size is concerned. The iPhone swelled to the size of the iPad. Could the iPad now grow into the iTV? VentureBeat thinks it’s “almost certain” that Apple is already working on a device, citing “multiple sources in Silicon Valley.” A venture capitalist who used to be on TiVo’s board, Stewart Alsop, thinks it’s a likelihood, and even predicts a 2012 launch date.
