The only way I can see this happen is that Apple introduces an aTV certification program for TV set makers, to ensure that (i) either an aTV motherboard is included in the TV (ii) or the TV and its inputs can be properly controlled by Apple's ve…

What if Apple just found a way to actually let its customers produce content that supplants Adobe Flash content? PS in addition I hope the published format will be viewable both from MacOSX and iOS, in contrast with the current ePub format.
