Apple TV set to download YouTube
Thousands of hours of user-generated video madness will soon be available through Apple TV, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced Wednesday, reports News.com.
"Starting next month, Apple TV users will be able to select YouTube as an option from the device's main menu and view thousands of the most viewed and most popular videos on the site.
... Apple TV is designed to connect a wide-screen television with content purchased or downloaded over the Internet by a Mac or PC. Until now, however, Apple TV users looking for content were mostly dependent on television programs or movies they had purchased through the iTunes Store. There's no browser inside the interface that would let users access other Internet videos, though they could move their home videos to Apple TV."
