Foxconn begin taking orders for the Apple TV

Apple's chinese manufacturing partner Foxconn has reportedly begun accepting orders to build an Apple Smart TV set according to Chinese news website 'Sina'. Sina claims the long rumoured iTV is currently in the "trial production stage," but no other details were given.

Earlier this month, reports say that Foxconn's CEO denied that his company would soon begin manufacturing a television for Apple. Apple was looking to enter the TV market with a HDTV that will reportedly look a lot like the company's current LED Cinema Display.

The Device is said to feature an aluminium casing, iOS, Siri voice controls and an iSight camera for FaceTime video chats.

Reports suggest that it will launch in 2014, but earlier reports claim this year.
