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

Posted on 2:55 pm by Paul Colligan

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.
