AppleTV 3.0
Oct 30, 2009 at 1:31 AM | Permalink Apple upgraded the AppleTV today to version 3.0. This is strictly a software update with a whole new look.
Here is the new UI.
It's a considerable change over the existing 2.x user interface. You'll rely much more on search to find movies and TV shows. Podcasts are about the same. YouTube simply takes you to the existing YouTube user interface. And Genius mixes are also supported.
The one significant new feature is support for Internet Radio. I've never been a big fan of this, but I know some are and this will likely satisfy them.
The Web site also talks about iTunes Extras available for certain movies that are "available with select movies, gives you special features that let you go behind the scenes of your favorite films"
The biggest disappointment is that the ability to have multiple audio tracks (for example a commentary track and the normal tracks) on ripped DVDs is still broken.
