According to the report, Apple\u2019s television set will have an aluminum construction, Siri voice controls, and FaceTime video calling.\nIn the most solid report to date about Apple\u2019s plan to enter the television market, the Foxconn chairman\u2019s comments suggest manufacturing won\u2019t begin before the end of the year. Most likely, the iTV would be available for customers in 2013 or 2014.\nAs we reported earlier this month, Apple is said to be waiting until it signs contracts with major Hollywood studios before unveiling the television.

Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz said at the time, economic conditions do not indicate \u201Cany looming TV-related product launch.\u201D\nChina Daily also stated that Sharp will be the company that produces the screen for the Apple television.\nAre you excited about the possible launch of an Apple television?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
