Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t Apple<\/a>? That’s the question that went out to a Cupertino boardroom of men dressed in black polo-necks and jeans, who then voted that the company go into game console development. Something like that, anyway.<\/p>\n

That’s according to Cult of Mac, whose secret sources claim that Apple is going into the hardware business with a “television set with an iTunes-integrated touch screen remote and Siri-like voice command technology” which would ship alongside an “Apple-branded, Kinect-like\u00a0video game console”.<\/p>\n

The new iThings would be out “before the end of 2012”, allegedly, and a second generation with higher-res displays would be out another three to six months later, presumably.<\/p>\n

The site also makes a big deal about an otherwise completely unverified story that Apple CEO Tim Cook<\/a> visited Valve<\/a> last week, although with rumours that Valve is also moving into console production, it’s a nice little conspiracy to believe in.<\/p>\n
