Apple may be putting together a new apparatus to make Apple TV even more awesome.   There rumor is that Apple is developing a mulitouch keyboard.

From CrunchGear:

There’s a rumor currently making the rounds suggesting that Apple could release a multitouch keyboard for Apple TV. The Bluetooth keyboard, as the above mock-up shows, looks a lot like the company’s standard issue aluminum keyboard, but with an expanded area on the right side—the multitouch surface.

The multitouch pad would be totally programmable, and would be able to function as anything from a simple number pad to an iPod-like click wheel to a whatever-else-you-have-in-mind. That’s the rumor, at least.

So there you have it.  There are some great mock-ups on CrunchGear to check out as well.
