Tech guru and Digg.com co-founder Kevin Rose announced on his blog this weekend that Apple's rumored iTV device could "change everything" in the world of television. According to Rose, iTV's "a la carte" content purchasing system will allow content creators to stream their shows directly to consumers, cutting cable TV providers out of the loop. Will iTV really "allow you to say goodbye to your monthly cable bill" forever? (See a sneak peek at iTV)
¡Viva la revolución! iTV is set to play "an important part" in the imminent "living room revolution," says Dave Parrack in WebTVWire. If Apple's new product and Google TV both catch on, "2011 could be an important year for online video making the move to the living room, whether the current owners of the space support the revolution or not."
