Apple's yearly developer conference should see iOS 8, OS X 10.10, and likely some hardware.
Best Buy Dreams Up a $1499 42-Inch 'Apple HDTV' for Customer Feedback
The Verge reports that Best Buy has been surveying some of its customers on proposed products and services, with the company including a description of a 42-inch "Apple HDTV" priced at $1499. The listing is undoubtedly simply a concept dreamed up by Best Buy to help gauge interest in such an offering, but provides an interesting perspective on what the major electronics retailer might be hoping for and what it thinks its customers would want in an Apple television set.
Best Buy's survey questions on the proposed Apple HDTV go on to assess respondents' level of interest in purchasing the product, whether they believe it is new and different and whether it would solve a problem or fulfill a need for them.
Be one of the first to get the all new 42" Apple HDTV at Best Buy for $1499. Apple finally reinvents what a TV can do:The promotional text makes no mention of Siri or voice control, which has been rumored to be one of the device's key revolutionary features following Steve Jobs' revelation that he had "finally cracked" how to reshape the way people interact with their television sets.

Will it have 3D. Hopefully Apple have cracked 3D tv with no glasses?
3D is a dead-end trend. I'm sure Apple realizes this.

iSight and Skype?
These questions were, quite obviously, not written by a fanboy. Lololol.

$1499, no thanks. I "could" understand $999, but $1499 for a tiny 42" is too much. Should be:
32": $699
42": $999
47": $1299
55": $1799
LED, 120Hz, and 3D for the 47 and 55 inch models.

Come on, I know able can charge whatever, and people will still buy it. But when it comes to a tv, apple or not, nobody is gonna pay 1500 dollars for a 42" tv. Come on, my parents won't even pay 700 for a 55". This is one apple product I will not be buying and neither will anybody else.
Are you like a hillbilly or something? A comparable Samsung is like 2,000 dollars w/out tax. This would be consider cheaper and still more advanced.

the biggest question of all ... will it even support hdmi so i can plug in my BLU RAY PLAYER!
i wouldnt be surprised if apple doesnt allow it and will call it "revolutionary and easy to use - no need to plug any hardware in, you can stream everything from the ITUNES STORE" (more money for apple)
