  Apple Will Rule Home Entertainment By 2013

By Branko Miletic | Friday | 23/05/2008

According to a report by Forrester Research and Computerworld, Apple will be the king of the living room in five years, with the company being firmly implanted in homes by 2013.

According to the report, Apple will leverage its existing products like the iPod, iPhone and Mac and its iTunes and retail Apple Stores that unite home audio and video with IT.

Moreover Forrester has predicted that Apple will:

-- Release a home server that "doesn't contain the word 'server.'"

-- Produce an all-in-one super remote that controls everything musical in the house, including iPods, the home stereo and audio-playing computers.

-- Sell network-enabled digital photo frames and room-specific "clock radios" that stream images and tunes from the server.

-- Extend the AppleTV into Blu-ray territory, or morph it into an Apple HDTV line.

-- Offer in-home installation services.

-- Revamp its Apple Stores into retail outlets that push the digital living room/digital lifestyle.

-- And push iTunes so it ties together digital content with cloud-based updates, remote management and editing.
