Apple TV

Although no official announcement has been made yet, Apple is clearly moving forward on putting together content to stream over the web. The company is reportedly negotiating with major networks including ABC, CBS, Fox, Discovery and several others under Viacom. According to The Wall Street Journal, media executives in the know expect the service to launch in September with about 25 channels. The price, they believe, will fall somewhere in the $30 to $40 range.

If and when Apple's streaming TV service launches (currently it is expected in September), the lineup is far from clear. Apple is in talks with Disney (the parent company of ABC), CBS, 21st Century Fox, Viacom and Discovery.

It seems at this point that Apple's streaming TV service will be a reality, though no official announcement has been made yet. According to The Wall Street Journal, media executives with knowledge of the matter believe Apple will announce the service in June (likely at the World Wide Developers Conference) and launch it in September.

Included in the box along with the Apple TV itself is a power cable, a remote control and documentation. An HDMI cable is not included and you'll need one to connect to your high definition TV, so plan for that if you are purchasing the Apple TV.
