The long rumoured Apple connected TV seems to have officially been confirmed by former CEO Steve jobs who revealed in his biography that he has “finally cracked it.”

Apple TV confirmed by Steve Jobs?

In an early review of the authorised Steve Jobs biography, rushed out after his death earlier this month, The Washington quotes Jobs as saying, “I’d like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use. It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud. It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine.” He also said that he had, “finally cracked it.”

An Apple connected TV is expected to launch sometime in 2012 and will marry the Apple TV set-top box into a television set. Users can then access their media from the iCloud and make purchases from the iTunes store. The connected TV will also be able to stream catch-up TV from selected apps, thereby giving free, as well as premium content in a single device.

There have been rumors of Apple releasing a connected HDTV device for years and the delay may be due to development of a back-end. Apple launched both the iPod and iPhone with delivery systems in place. iTunes for iPod and the app store for iPhone, it may be perfecting a TV store that can supply media and apps before they launch.

One thing is for sure though, a TV with the Apple iOS, an iMac screen, access to an app and media store and backed by the Apple name would be a sure fire winner.
