In a talk show interview aired in Brazil Monday, Walter Isaacson said he purposely left out details about Apple’s forthcoming TV product in his biography of Steve Jobs.
“I left a few things out of the book,” Isaacson said on the set of Roda Vida. “Not much, but a few things like what [Jobs] thought Apple TV should be, because Apple hadn’t yet done it and I felt that was maybe unfair to Apple before they produce a TV for me to be reporting what Steve thought it should be.”
Interest in a potential TV set has been mounting since the authorized biography of Apple’s founder and former CEO was published last October. In an undated interview, Jobs told author Walter Isaacson he has finally discovered how to build an integrated, wirelessly synched TV set with “the simplest user interface you could imagine.” No further details were given.
Since the release of the book, many have speculated about what TV-related product Jobs might have been working on at the time of his death. After the iPhone 4S was released, many posited that Jobs was developing a Siri-powered voice search system for TV.
Then came rumors of different-sized screens, Microsoft Kinect-like gesture controls and, most recently, a touchscreen remote control.
