Industrial designer Martin Hajek produced these impressive concepts for what a next generation Apple TV might look like.

There are some interesting ideas here: multiple color options, adding a curved touchscreen to the remote control, turning the set top box into a charging station, and using the remote as a game controller. This kind of visualized speculation is entertaining, but it just makes me more impatient for Apple to reveal whatever it’s working on in this space. There are a few components in our home theater system that are ripe for upgrades, but I feel compelled to hold off until we find out what Cupertino has in mind.
