“One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One ring to bring them all…” taken straight from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. That is exactly what Apple is doing with their new “iRing” that acts as a motion controller to watch television on their “iTV”. Rumor has it that this new accessory will allow their users the ability to control the TV set by just pointing at the television.
Brian White of Topeka Capital Markets believed that the “iTV” will come with a “mini iTV” screen that will allow users to view content on a smaller 9.7-inch display — the same diagonal screen size as a full-size iPad. Though this 2 for the price of 1 may seem unrealistic, as a consumer I would definitely be interested in getting these devices. Imagine never having to pick up the remote since it’s on your finger. The days of misplacing the remote or the battery dying out will be a thing of the past.
Stay tuned my technology friends….
