Based on Apple's history, it will be high priced and so proprietry it won't need DRM - nothing will work with it that's not Apple.

Re: Apple to rule living room by 2013

yeah, have to second that. You can already buy Sony for every piece of equipment for your loungeroom, TV's, Amps, Recievers, PS3s, Digital Tuners, Remotes, Home Automation, BD players, CD players etc etc. can't see Apple creating products in all those areas by 2013 and then being the top end in each of those categories ...... I don't think so.
