Apple TV SDK rumor 2012 - Leak or Guess work?

Hi Rob

(Per Apple TV SDK) I wish I could believe this but it is BGR reporting the story

Hi Steve,

 

This is the "speculation of something that is likely - hey lets call it a leaked rumor from an inside source" game.

 

Many have been speculating / hoping Apple would allow Access to install Apps on Apple TV for some time.  ie release an SDK for Apple TV.  You have heard me hoping / wishing for that since Apple TV 2nd gen was released. 

 

Last year there were similar rumors / leaks right before WWDC.  

 

This year it probably will actually happen - given Tim Cooks comments recently about Apple TV. 

 

Here is that speculation from two weeks ago.

 

And here it is from one year ago

 

And another from Jan 2011

 

Point is there has been speculation about an Apple TV SDK for some time - and at least at the links above they all had the integrity to say it was just that "speculation".  

 

What BGR most likely ("most likely" added to keep away the lawyers from BGR) did was take speculation and call it a leak from a "source".

 

If they are right - they point back and say see we told you and then use said "source" to fuel some other "story" in the future. 

 

If they are wrong - no one remembers.

 

As always take what BGR says with the same level of integrity of Digitimes.
