Is Apple Developing A Gesture Control TV & Gaming Console?

More rumors are pouring in about the possibility of an Apple TV.

The new rumors originate from the Cult of Mac. They’re saying that Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, visited Valve yesterday.  Valve runs the gaming network Steam. As Alex Heath at Cult of Mac puts it, “Steam is to gaming as iTunes is to music.”

The thinking is that Apple and Valve may be cooking up a gaming platform for use with the Apple TV. Something along the lines of, for instance, a Kinect-like video game console.

This would tend to strengthen rumors will be called an iPanel, which might be a way for Apple to differentiate the new device from regular TVs by suggesting it’s something more.

Every rumor we have heard so far points to the new device being introduced by the end of this year. That seems like a pretty quick release for a major new product line that incorporates a lot of new tech, some of which, according to rumors, is still in the exploration stages. We’ll keep a close eye on this and see how it pans out.
