Jeff Robbin is Leading the Apple Television Project?

Jeff Robbin, the engineer who built iTunes and helped create the iPod, is reportedly leading the development of an Apple television, according to Bloomberg.

Robbin's involvement is a sign of Apple's commitment to extending its leadership in smartphones and tablets into the living room. Before his Oct. 5 death, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs told biographer Walter Isaacson that he had "finally cracked" how to build an integrated TV with a simple user interface that would wirelessly synchronize content with Apple's other devices.


Apple declined to comment on the matter; however, a report from Gene Munster today revealed that he'd met with a contact close to an Asian component supplier who indicates that prototypes of an Apple television are in the works.
