Here are some eensy teensy new details revealed by Disney CEO Rober Iger about Apple's upcoming iTV that will hopefully give you a better idea of what to expect from the device. "It can also stream it live through the box to the TV or it has a small hard drive on it so they can download what you put on the device on your computer, on your iTunes, through the television set." Sorry, his words, not mine, but yes, it does officially include an internal hard drive, which was one feature brought into question until now. "...It's wireless. It detects the presence of computers in your home; in a very simple way you designate the computer you want to feed it and it wirelessly feeds whatever you downloaded on iTunes which include videos, TV, music videos, movies or your entire iTunes music library to your television set... So it is relatively easy to use, simple kind of plug and play, relatively easy. Actually extremely easy remote control device, DVD quality, not HD quality at this point. I find it to be pretty compelling." So there you have it. Not too much to be gleaned there, but the most important thing to note is that yes, the iTV will sport a hard drive.(via TUAW)

c. Moviebeam is not even close to being successful
Could there be a possibility that moviebeam is incorporated into iTV?
