[...] shocked. Shocked. Once again, Apple has updated iTunes, and once again, the update disables the ability of Palm’s Pre to sync directly with iTunes [...]

The scenario that I see playing out with Apple TV is that when the Tablet comes out, it will support iPhone Applications (or perhaps an optimized version of same).

Coincident with that time is the logical time for Apple to upgrade Apple TV to play iPhone Apps. Apple is all about leverage and synchronicity at this point, and that would give them a larger runtime domain, something that I blogged about in:

As Netflix has showed, partnering can be a win-win.

Is it Apple’s style? I don’t think so, but I think it would be great for consumers, Apple and for TV makers.

How about partnering with TV makers to embedded its software?

There is NO way that Apple is getting into the TV business. None.

To be clear, the TV business would be selling flat screen TVs (like Sony, Samsung, Panasonic sell). The 27″ iMac is NOT an example of Apple getting into the TV business.

The TV business stinks and I think Apple is smart enough to realize they don’t want any part of that low margin business.

No chance.
