Apple entering the TV market? Eh....

Apple's HDTV will reportedly carry 16 speakers giving a "complete surround sound experience...

This rumor is not new. Robert X. Cringely has been making this prediction for a while now and it's never come to pass. Still, I am a little bit intrigued by the idea of an Apple television. Flat panel TVs nowadays have been somewhat ho-hum. 3D technology is pretty bunk and the only thing to compete on are whose got the better tech specs. To most people, there really isn't a difference between a Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, etc. You can bet Apple would make a TV that not only looked good on but also looked good off. Whether that's worth a premium or not remains to be seen.
