According to a former Apple executive, Apple plans to “blow Netflix and all those other guys away” by bundling Apple TV + iTunes inside physical television sets. The source that opened up to DailyTech, continues to say that Apple is teaming up with a major supplier (some say Samsung Electronics), to provide the physical televisions, which will be rebranded as Apple iOS driven television sets.

As we all know this rumor has been around for a while now. If this source is to be believed, a fall launch was in order (potentially coinciding with the iPhone launch?), but the product could launch as late as next year, given Apple’s “high standards”.

This would definitely be Apple’s countermove to Google’s “Internet TV” project it has with Sony. Especially since it has already been confirmed that full access to third-party apps is coming to Google TV.

The new iOS-driven televisions are expected to have third-party apps as well.

Let’s hope the alleged Apple TV display set is not just another hobby.

There are a couple of rumors floating around the Apple TV world.

1. 1080p For Apple TV 3
According to 9to5Mac, Apple is preparing their next-generation iOS 5 devices to support play back and sync of 1080p content. Lets hope the next Apple TV will run on iOS 5.

2. Apple TV: Next Big Game Console
With the release of Firemint’s Real Racing 2 HD, multiple sources have hinted that the Apple TV will become the next big game console. Real Racing 2 HD allows you the ability to play the game on your big screen without a cable, while your iPad 2 displays racing telemetry in real-time. This looks promising for other game companies to develop games with similar playing experience.

So what did we learn from yesterday’s WWDC keynote speech that relate to the Apple TV? Two new welcome additions, Photo Stream & Airplay Mirroring.

Photo Stream:
You can view your recent photos on your HDTV with a special Photo Stream album that’s stored in iCloud.
