Other doubts surrounded the Apple TV’s inability to purchase TV shows, music and movies directly from the Apple TV interface, relying instead on you performing those tasks on your PC or Mac first.īut Jobs seemed unperturbed by the criticism directed at the Apple TV in some quarters since the launch as he described the Apple TV as a “hobby” at the D: All Things Digital conference. Apple says this gives enough space for 200 hours of video, 36,000 songs, 25,000 photos or a combination of all three.Īpple’s announcement and capacity upgrade comes at a time when doubts had begun to emerge about the strategy with Apple TV, offering 640x480 resolution video for people who must plug the Apple TV into a widescreen, HD TV capable of up to 1920x1080 resolution, and coming equipped with too small a hard drive to build a truly serious video collection on. In addition, the Apple has announced that the an upgrade to the hard drive of the Apple TV can be made at time of purchase, boosting the size to 160Gb from the original 40Gb, for US $399, or $100 more than the 40Gb model.

Users will see a custom interface that looks like the rest of Apple TV which will make thousands of ‘current and popular’ YouTube videos available, meaning YouTube’s entire catalog of video content won’t be available from day 1.īut YouTube promises to add ‘thousands more videos each week’ until the full Youtube catalog becomes available in the northern autumn, or fall, as YouTube converts their video from the FLV streaming Flash format to Apple’s preferred H.264 video encoding format. Interestingly, Apple TV users will be able to log into their YouTube accounts on screen but won’t be browsing the live YouTube site. YouTube is a worldwide sensation, and Apple TV is bringing it directly from the Internet onto the widescreen TV in your living room.”

Steve Jobs said that “This is the first time users can easily browse, find and watch YouTube videos right from their living room couch, and it’s really, really fun. Apple TV owners will be able to download an update in mid-June, allowing the Apple TV to easily browse, watch and let users save YouTube videos directly using the Apple TV – your PC won’t be required.
