There have been rumors and speculation regarding an Apple-flavored TV set for years, but over the last 6 months the gossip has really heated up. We’ve heard from pundits, analysts and even an ex Apple executive, that the product is underway.
But there have also been a lot of folks against the idea. And these neigh-sayers have several reasons why we won’t see a television set from the Cupertino company anytime soon.

For those living under a rock, or perhaps beneath one of the Android-powered monstrosities entering the market these days, a Smart Cover is Apple’s magnetic iPad cover. Offering protection for the iPad’s screen while supposedly cleaning it at the same time, the Smart Cover is something all iPad owners should own. It’s great, but a battery pack would make it better…
