iTV rumors continue to swirl around the shady backwaters of the internet, but it's not often national papers of record decide to wade in -- Canada's, no less. According to an anonymous source who spilled the beans to the
Globe and Mail, Apple's
TV set will include Siri-powered voice control, with the
virtual assistant also helping in those ever-pressing "programming choices". There will also be gesture recognition courtesy of a front-facing camera and (perhaps most worryingly) an on-screen keyboard for typing into a web browser and other apps. The paper couldn't confirm whether the device will play nice with the rest of
la familia iOS, although another mole informed the Canadian news source that both Rogers and
BCE Inc are jostling to claim a stake in the mysterious device, with Apple apparently actively courting both carriers.
