Apple TV is destined to become an all-in-one connected Apple Television. So says Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, who claims we’ll see the device make that transformation within the next two to four years.

With virtually every twittery, techie media fanboy and girl swarming all over the greater Austin area this week, it feels a little empty in the Bay Area. The sun is shining, but Dolores park is just a little emptier. There are fewer fixed-gear bikes darting between cars around the Mission District, and convenience store shelves are overflowing with unpurchased Pabst Blue Ribbon. Neither rain, nor snow, nor a hipster-packed BBQ joint can keep AllThingsD from our appointed post, though.

“The whole ball game to this point has been about competing with Apple. They got the mobile market, (iPods and iPhones) and real marketing clout. What Apple doesn’t have is a persuasive TV offering.”

– Tom Adams of Adams Media Research says maybe it’s time for Apple to start treating AppleTV as something more than a hobby.

iPad TV?

Could Apple’s future as a multichannel video distributor lie not with AppleTV but with the iPad? Might the “best of TV” iTunes subscription offering the company has been pitching to TV networks since last November be primarily intended for that device and not the company’s sleeper AppleTV platform?

Hulu: Watch Our Shows on a Big Screen, but not on a TV

Want to watch the season finale of “30 Rock” for free, whenever you want, on a big screen? Go for it, says Hulu–just don’t watch it on a TV. Confused? Of course. So was I when I checked out Hulu’s new “Desktop” app, launched today as part of the video service’s new “Labs” collection of experimental offerings. Basically, it’s downloadable software that makes it easier than ever to watch Hulu’s shows and clips in the same way that you’d watch TV–on your sofa, remote in hand. But Hulu wants to make sure you don’t actually think it replaces TV.

Boxee: WebTV That Makes Sense. Is That Good or Bad for Big Cable?

I don’t want the Web on my big screen TV. I do want easy access to Web video, though–especially stuff like Hulu and Netflix on Demand. Enter Boxee, and cue worried cable execs.

Apple CEO Prepares for Fall Investor Physical

The biggest news to come out of Apple’s “Let’s Rock” media event tomorrow may not be an iTunes 8 or a refresh of the company’s iPod line. It may not even be that rumored AppleTV with DVR and TV tuner capabilities–though that would certainly be a nice surprise. No, the biggest news to come out of “Let’s Rock” will be Steve Jobs and his health and health-problems–life-threatening or not.
