YouTube on your Apple TV E-mail

Apple TV will soon be able to stream YouTube videos as well as providing the option of greater storage.

From mid-June, thousands of the most current and popular YouTube videos will be available on Apple TV. The number will be increased on a weekly basis until the full catalogue is available in the northern spring.

Youtube content will be integrated into the normal Apple TV interface controlled by Apple's six-button remote, and users will be able to log in to their YouTube accounts to view and save their favourite videos.

"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," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "YouTube is a worldwide sensation, and Apple TV is bringing it directly from the Internet onto the widescreen TV in your living room."

Apple's announcement did not indicate whether a software update will be required for the Apple TV itself, or just for the host computer.

The company has also announced an optional 160G hard drive for the Apple TV, allowing the storage of up to 200 hours of video, 36,000 songs, 25,000 photos or a combination of each. This configuration will cost $A579, compared with $A449 for the standard 40G model.{moscomment}
