Within the last decade, Apple has released three products that changed the industry. The iPod revolutionized the way we buy and play music. The iPhone led the smartphone explosion. The iPad created a new product category that the rest if the industry is still trying to catch up with. Now there’s talk that the company known for innovation will unleash another product in the near future. According to MacRumors, a developer has noticed what appears to be a placeholder for a new product at iTunes. Panic developer Cabel Sasser found the name “ix.Mac.MarketingName” along with other Apple products the iPod touch, iPad and iPhone under the hardware requirements for some new apps in the App Store. So does this mean there’s a new Apple device to be unveiled soon, or is it just a glitch? Of course it could be a mistake, but there have been rumors than Apple is working on an HDTV that could be ready by the end of 2011. Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White stated in a note to investors: “Our research suggests this Smart TV would go well beyond the miniature $99 second-generation Apple TV that the company released last fall and provide a full-blown TV product for consumers.”

This would fit nicely with Apple’s upcoming cloud-based system that is rumored to include video content as well as music. If the talk that Apple is negotiating with TV and movie content providers to stream video directly to any device in the home, this could revolutionize the television industry in the same way the iPod and iTunes revolutionized the music industry. If it can be done, Apple is the one to do it.
