Apple TV Set-Top Box Predicted to Sell 4 Million Units, Grab 32% Market Share in 2011

Apple is dominating the smart TV market, which is still in its infancy. Not bad considering that the Apple TV it is just a hobby. 

I wonder what would happen to the Apple TV if it ever became more than just a hobby?

Jia Wu:

As Apple prepares for its expected launch of smart TVs in 2012, rival platforms must accelerate their development plans to keep Apple from running away with the connected TV business, as it has done in smartphones and digital music.

Oh yeah, this is great news for those who believe the rumors that Apple is building a television.

One thing worth noting – According to the report, the Xbox 360 does not qualify as a connected television, so it was not counted. This seems a bit unfair given Microsoft’s support for the Xbox as a media center. Regardless, Apple is in a great position.
