Apple TV 3. What to expect?

No it wont (infinity).
Just too much of a commodity market and folks are not going to want to upgrade their TV often enough to make any money off of the hardware. ATV will stay a box that you hook up to your TV.

I do like the idea of Apple licensing the software to TV makers to have the software built right into TV's. I would love a Panasonic Plasma with the Software of the Apple TV built right in.
That i can see happening. So they would have both the little black box and a the software running on select TV sets.
that will not happen. it will be panasonic or some other company building a tv to Apples spec with ATV built in along with lots of other stuff.

New apple tv 3 ? Is that what the article is saying

No, its saying that Apple TV will be available in 7 new European countries that it wasn't previously available in. This is due to the expansion of iTunes into these countries.
Edit - Rereading the article, its worded to suggest that its a brand new Apple TV... But I suspect it is just that, bad wording
Why do you think Apple will integrate the ATV service into a single HDTV?
----------
Um, iTunes, QT Player, Safari for Windows?
So they can sell it and keep it in their ecosystem. As for itunes, qt etc., good point. The ATV is a physical product and I feel Apple will go the tv route when the time is right. Yes it will be expensive, buy it will be the best. There are plenty of people that will buy it. Remember, Apple is the innovator, they have to keep new product coming online. There will be 2 or 3 new products in the next few years and the ATV will be one of them.
Wait till you see what comes out next spring!
There are agreements in place that offer those programs to users of other OSs.
I agree. consumers have barely reaped all the benefits ATV2 is capable of. ATV3 in 2011 is unlikely.
so my vote for "one more thing" re: iOS5 this fall is the AppStore for AppleTV.

I hope apple updates the ATV. It needs to support 1080p and allow apps. Then this would be perfect. I would go with the ruku2 if it would support streaming from a computer. I have over 1tb of ripped movies and tv show on a NAS and love the apple tv streaming.
While I would love an Apple TV that can output 1080p, and decode 1080p Blu-Ray rips without frame-dropping, I hate to say that the recent release of the Apple TV in additional territories makes it unlikely to happen, at least for the forseeable future.
If you'd paid attention to Apple's releases in the past, it's too soon for a 3rd iteration of the iPad, seeing as how the last one was released inside of a year.
I'd rather they take their time and get things like the camera and retina display right. (I'm hoping against hope that the old 5MB iPhone 4 camera finds its way into the iPad 3).
Ipad ?

Never expected an update to the ATV, but was hoping for an app store for the ATV.
Well i was waiting for today to come and go so i can now order a new Roku. Still keeping our ATV (still no better way to play all of my iTunes content) just adding the Roku for the extra content it has.

Either way, too soon.
