The Apple-branded TV set: An analyst connects the dots
Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster believes an iOS television will succeed Apple TV in 2012
In the wake of a dubious prediction published Wednesday (DailyTech: Apple to Enter TV Display Business Late This Year) and its dismantling (TechCrunch: That Apple Television Is Coming This August Alongside The iPhone Nano (And Santa)) Gene Munster could hardly be expected to hold his tongue.
