Apple TV Gets Bigger And Streams YouTube. New Media’s Voice Cracked Today.

by Paul Colligan on May 30, 2007

YouTube is coming to Apple TV. Middle of next month they say. The hard drives are getting bigger too – but that isn’t that important what with the incredible streaming job it does.

All this was announced today at D 2007. You can read the Engadget commentary here. I won’t bore you with the details – but do read every stinking word.

The truly geekly will notice that I added a YouTube category today. Until this point I really didn’t care because there were two audiences: those who watched on the computer and those who watched on the television.

YouTube.com now handles both audiences. Nobody else does it better. They call it “convergence.”

Everything changed today – and new media is better off for it. His/her voice cracked today in a first sign of puberty. I’ll stop with the analogies – but I hope you get what I’m saying.

Oh yeah, and there’s that whole new version of iTunes with non-drmed tunes as well.

It’s been a good day. I’m gonna eat me a steak tonight.

Tomorrow I start working, finally, on my YouTube strategy.
