You're thinking too small. You'll need a second mortgage.

So they will just take stuff being churned out of a random china factory slap their brand on it and rise the price 3 or 5 times?

I'm afraid i can only agree with this and other replies re any up and coming Apple pricing ie you just know it'll be extortionate, they'll be way more overpriced than every single other offering and yet still have all the Apple trolls salivating. Each to their own i guess..
Main PC ~ Intel C2Q Q6600 (G0 Stepping)/Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3/2GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500/Zalman CNPS9700/Antec 900/Corsair HX 620W
Network ~ DD-WRT ~ 2node WDS-WPA2/AES ~ Buffalo WHR-G54S. 3node WPA2/AES ~ WRT54GS v6 (inc. WEP BSSID), WRT54G v2, WRT54G2 v1. *** Forum Rules ***

When you want an apple, goto the grocery store. When you want an all in one package that won't over heat and set on fire; trust anything but fruit.

I wouldn?t be surprised if these things will be way over priced and not even compare to quality HDTV's. They should just stick with their iPods/iPhones, and their low performance (overpriced) Mac's.

Not only will they be way overpriced, but you'll probably have to have it connected to the internet so it can constantly "phone home" similar to their itunes software. No thanks.
I'm getting pretty sick of this trend. I don't really want corporations or anyone else for that matter knowing what I'm listening to, or watching, and when.
Complete loss of privacy in the guise of "better customer service."
If your fish seems sick, put it back in the water.

No, they should stop making iPhones, they clearly do not know how to do it correctly.

As I read the article the same thoughts went through my head. However, just maybe they have come up with a new angle. Probably a huge touch screen.
Even if there is nothing really new, Apple Zombies will buy them because they have no minds.
I really can't see how you could get build a slow performing screen.
I wouldn't write the off right now.

It all depends on what you mean by "write it off"
I am 99% sure it will be an overpriced piece of junk, but I am also 99% sure that it will sell well (just look at their other junk products). If apple made ice, Alaskan apple fans would buy it.

I am with you on the overpriced. They get out of a market that they can't gouge you. Apple Zombies would buy and love their pet rocks if they sold them. I am guessing these will be insainely priced. I bet they are touch screens.
I am not so sure about the junk angle.

Lets have a little test of stereotypes...
Are you balding or shave your head for that "designer stubble all over" look?
Do you like cappuccino?
So much that you drink it at home out of those sad instant packets?
Have you ever or do you currently like listening to REM or Sade?
If you can answer yes to 3 out of the above 4 questions you should undoubtedly buy one... they are made just for people like you XD

On second thought, this might be a good thing. People watch too much TV...having a TV made by apple should greatly cut down on how much you can watch (when it bursts into flames like an iPhone).
