I still don’t like the “Apple TV” name. It makes it sound like a television unit instead of a peripheral. “iTV” was a better name IMO.

That is the one problem with the “Apple TV” name — it does block off one obvious branding mechanism should Apple ever decide to release a TV. At the rate and in the direction they’re going, that’s one rumor likely to come true. Knowing Apple, though, they’ll get around it by building the Apple TV device INTO the TV, a la the iMac. There are TVs out at CES, supposedly, that include Wi-Fi support built in. So why not an Apple TV inside a TV? Sounds cool to me.
