Apple on Wednesday unveiled a new Apple TV that supports 1080p and boasts a new, streamlined user interface.
That new interface looks quite a bit like iOS, including icons, apps, and cover flow. The update also means that iTunes in the Cloud now supports movies, providing access to already-purchased movies via iCloud. Buy a movie from the iTunes Store and watch it instantly on your HD TV. AirPlay will also allow users to stream or mirror content from the iPad or iPhone 4S to the Apple TV.
The revamped Apple TV will be $99 and is available on March 16, Apple chief Tim Cook said during a Wednesday press event.
Apple introduced a revamped, $99 Apple TV in August 2010 that was a quarter of the size of previous versions, included streaming movies from Netflix, and had 99-cent TV rentals from ABC and Fox.
In recent months, of course, rumors have focused on the possibility of an actual television set from Apple, though Cupertino has made no announcements.
A hack released in January, dubbed MobileX, brought full-screen iOS apps to your Apple TV.
Also today, Apple unveiled a new iPad with 4G, a souped-up camera, and Retina Display. For more, see PCMag's Hands On With the New iPad and PCMag's live blog of today's event, plus the slideshow below.
