Since announcing the newly revamped Apple TV based on the iOS platform at the Apple Music Event earlier in the month, Apple hasn’t shied away from saying that it will look into apps for the streaming set-top box. Steve Jobs had noted that the company may launch an Apple TV App Store when the time is right and the market’s mature enough for developers to capitalize on such an opportunity, and it seems that the company is serious about that based on a LinkedIn profile. First spotted by Mac blog MacRumors, an intern had described their summer position as an “Apple TV Apps Engineer” on the professional networking site. Could a series of widgets, a Web broser, more streaming services for radio and Internet content be coming to an Apple TV soon? Apple is slated to start shipping the newly Apple TV soon as those who have pre-ordered the devices have said that their credit cards have been charged over the last few days.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

iOS: was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
