As one of leading companies in international market, Apple never stops developing its electronic gadgets. Almost every device Apple produces gained tremendous popularity and Apple users around the world are satisfied with the product they purchased. From the iPhone first generation that reached international success, iPad then followed its successor to attract many people to try the new form of computing device.

Learning that Apple never stops innovating as well, Apple is expected to keep continuing its project to roll out more innovative devices. Thus, after gaining extraordinarily success from its devices like iPod, iPhone, and the recently released iPad, Apple returns the focus on finishing its revamp and forgotten TV called iTV.

According to Engadget, Apple will hold official announcement over iTV in the fall. The company decided to trim down some features on this revamp TV which are 160GB hard disk drive and the 1080p playback support. As replacement, Apple will pack iTV as Flash memory and A4 chip-enabled unit. Still in the regard to Engadget’s report, iTV will run Apple’s iOS4. This way, iTV will be able to run numerous applications you find in iPhone, iPad, and iPod.

To see the further details of iTV, below are 5 predicted features to come with this Apple’s TV product. First comes first, iTV enables you to access music, photos, or videos straightly from your iPhone, iPod, or iPad. It means you don’t have to share the contents with PC or Mac through iTunes.

Secondly, iTV is packed with Netflix Streaming that allows you to stream Apple’s apps, top game consoles, Pandora, Slacker, Last. Fm, and other which are accessible through Apple products. Besides, iTV should be supported with better remote control that enables you to use it in text mode as you are logging in Facebook, Twitter, and other applications. Moreover, iTV should include the ability of control enabling through iPod Touch, iPhone, or even iPad.

Furthermore, iTV could be equipped with a cable TV Tie-In and DVR Capabilities. Surely, the cable TV will eliminate a cable box which can be unnecessarily available in iTV. Also, the DVR will be a wonderful addition. Speaking of pricing, Apple TV offers season-pass pricing on TV shows, although it seems those are the only things you can get from iTV, including the all content plan. You probably will need to reconsider purchasing iTV if it comes with significant price, but still you will have to make sure what exactly Apple would bring into surface in upcoming iTV.

The new Apple iTV will change the way we know personal computing today. In the future our personal computers will be hosted in the cloud, and accessed from devices like smart phone, iPad, iTV and so on. I recently wrote a blog post about it on my blog.
