Following earlier reports that Apple may unveil a TV operating system at next week’s WWDC keynote, BGR this morning reports that Apple is planning to show off a new SDK to allow developers to create third-party Apple TV apps.
The report doesn’t provide many details – but does it really need to? The Apple TV seems ripe for a change. Third-party apps for alternative video services (or Angry Birds) would be a welcome addition, and as MacRumors points out, Steve Jobs himself noted that third-party Apple TV apps could be a possibility “when the time is right”.
It’s an exciting rumor, and could help pave the way for Apple’s rumored upcoming television set. Still, I’m not getting my hopes on up this one – BGR is so far the only source to report such information, and while they’ve been accurate in the past, one source isn’t enough to tip the scales for me.
Apple’s big keynote is on Monday, folks. Do you think we’ll see an Apple TV App Store? Sound off in the comments!
