This rumor started growing over the week-end on the web: Apple could release its new Apple TV mode today. However one does not know if the shape will evolve or only the hardware. Among the expected new specifications, we could have:
- SATA HD with storage space up to 250 or 500 GB.
- So far, the Apple TV is using a processor which was part of ATOMs development, and Apple could integrate the new low cost CPU from Intel in its TV-oriented device. Dual Core ATOM should be powerful enough to boost performance while decreasing production cost.
- The Apple TV could finally provide full HD support as required components are now much cheaper and would make the Apple TV a true alternative to other video media center.
