Apple in talks to launch online TV service:

Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) much-hinted-at TV service may soon become a reality as the iPhone maker is in talks with programmers to offer a slimmed-down bundle of TV networks this fall, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

The service would have about 25 channels, anchored by broadcasters such as ABC, CBS and Fox, and be available across all devices powered by Apple's iOS operating system, including iPhones, iPads and Apple TV set-top boxes.

Apple, which is aiming to price the new service at about $30 to $40 a month, plans to announce the service in June and launch it in September.

I can wait to hack into that system....
