Earlier this month we here at Gamezebo were quick to speculate that rumors of a new Apple TV could mean Apple gaming in the living room. It looks like we may not be alone in this speculation as Neil Young, CEO of ngmoco, has let a few thoughts of his own slip on the subject in a recent interview with CNET.

Discussing a number of topics relevant to the Apple’s recent Worldwide Developer Conference, Young was quick to point out the future potential that the iPhone 4 may have in the living room, and how excited his company would be to be there;

“I think that a gyroscope-enabled, touch-sensitive device with a screen would make a wonderful interface for television and gaming on television,” he said. “…as a fan of Apple TV, I can’t wait for them to do something that lets my company’s apps run on the TV and gives me a control interface that’s not just movement based, but is also touch based.”

Young later goes on to discuss how the operating system name change could be a sign of things to come. “A TV or TV box running iPhone OS doesn’t make as much sense as one running iOS.”
