Here are your Apple rumors and news items for Monday: Jobs Final Project: An
Apple Television: The Washington Post reported Friday that the new biography of
Steve Jobs reveals not only what the famous CEO was working on before his death,
but what Apple s (NASDAQ: AAPL ) next major product might be. The long-rumored
Apple TV set was the creators next big project . Jobs is quoted by author Walter
Isaacson as having said, Id like to create an integrated television set that is
completely easy to use … It would be seamlessly synced with all of your
devices and with iCloud. It will have the simplest user interface. I finally
cracked it. Wall Street analysts and component suppliers have been hinting that

iTunes, the App Store, etc. and also will sport the same features as the Apple
TV set-top box. iPod Turns 10 Years Old: Sunday marked the 10th anniversary of
Apples famous MP3 player. The original iPod released with little fanfare amongst

Returns to iPhone: Google s (NASDAQ: GOOG ) VoIP service, Google Voice ,
disappeared from Apples App Store shortly after the new version of the iPhone
operating system, iOS 5, released earlier this month. For users that already had
the app on their phones, the app suddenly stopped working. A Saturday report at
9 to 5 Mac said a new version of Googles Skype competitor has appeared in the
App Store . Its still unclear why iOS 5 created such a significant problem. The
report speculated that the new voice recognition feature of iOS 5, Siri , caused
problems for Googles service. As of this writing, Anthony John Agnello did not
