Still waiting for Apple’s next Macbook coming Tuesday? Well get this, Jason Calacanis, in an interview with CNET UK claims that a little birdie told him that Apple is working on a networked LCD HDTV with built-in Apple TV. Why Apple would jump into the HDTV market is strangely mysterious, but what’s interesting is the promise of an HDTV natively capable of streaming music and videos from your network. Still, a very stimulating rumor and another expensive gadget to add to your to-buy list. [MacBlogz]

We didn’t go to CEATEC 2008, but those who did spotted this 15mm thin 37-inch HDTV from Hitachi.
