Siri set to power Apple TV
Apple's long-awaited flatscreen TV – which is reportedly at the prototype stage already – will be powered by the iPhone 4S's virtual assistant, Siri. Good news if you're sick of remotes cluttering up your living room.
The New York Times reports that Steve Jobs pondered several different options for Apple TV remotes, including a wireless keyboard and the iPhone. But his "I finally cracked it" moment was the realisation that Siri could be ported from the iPhone 4S to Apple's TV.
If it's true, you could be telling Siri to "play a cowboy movie" or "record next week's Doctor Who" in the not-too-distant future.
Don't expect an Apple TV packing Siri too soon, though. Apple's been working on prototype TV sets since September, according to sources in the component manufacturing chain. But the NYT reports that Apple's waiting for the cost of large displays to fall before venturing into the TV arena. We can expect the Apple TV to be announced in late 2012, with the product hitting store shelves in 2013.
Siri, can you hurry up, please?

Apple has always been the best in providing services to its customers. I just love to use products made by Apple and the quality is also much better than those others in the market.

It's definitely an interesting idea - combine Siri with the various catchup TV services, some sort of PVR technology, the likes of YouTube plus of course the iTunes store, and you could find yourself saying "Watch the most recent Match of the Day" or "Show me some videos about Egypt" and Siri does the rest for you. Definitely a game changer if they can make it happen. Tennis Shop

The new version no longer has the hard drive; however, it does have an undocumented internal 8 GB flash storage, speculated to be used for smoother playback of streamed media. All content is drawn from online or locally connected sources. optical illusions
