Apple TV? Oh, yes. Apple televison? Not a chance in Hell.

Jason Schwarz at Seeking Alpha revives the old "Apple will make a television set" prediction. The CouchGuy says, "Not a chance in Hell." C'mon exactly what value proposition would an Apple-branded TV provide? Why in the name of all that is Jobsian would Apple want to assume the support burden on the entire HDTV hardware system, when there really is little they need to do but use that part of it as a display for the real Apple magic? Why would Apple try to get you to replace your entire TV, when all they need to do to dominate your living room is sell a box attached to your existing TV?

Yes, I expect an Apple TV revision in 2009 — early 2009. But not this Apple-branded HDTV set thing again. Please. No way.

And I think that iCar prediction from Jason is a little out there, too — but I'll let the CarGuys comment about that one.
