TV manufacturers are reportedly scrambling to find out what Apple's rumored television set will do, according to Jeffries analyst Peter Misek.

Misek believes that Sharp is retooling a Sakai production line to manufacture LCD panels for the so-called iTV. He believes the line should be ready by February and Apple could unveil the long rumored device by mid-year.

"Based on our discussions, interestingly other TV manufacturers have begun a scrambling search to identify what iTV will be and do," says Misek. "They hope to avoid the fate of other industries and manufacturers who were caught flat footed by Apple."

Even with these accelerated efforts to fend off Apple, Misek says they will still be behind. "Mainstream TV manufacturers are likely to be at least 6 to 12 months behind in a best-case scenario."

Ok now, let's get it straight once and for all... Call this device what you will, but there will be no 'iTV'; the British television network by that name has already made that abundantly clear. Someone's either being annoyingly cute, or they're just plain stupid.
