YouTube Videos on Apple TV in June
Wouldnt it be great if you could see YouTube on your TV?
Apple will be offering a free software upgrade come June that will allow Apple TV users to view YouTube videos on their televisions. Jobs demos the feature with a clip from Americas Got Talent. Odd choice.
Jobs also hinted at the possibility of high definition content coming sometime in the future for iTunes.
"You can buy movies off iTunes as well. It's pretty good quality -- we arent selling high def... at this point. But I think in the future that might change!
Apple has updated their Apple TV section on their website to demonstrate the YouTube functionality.

"Aahhh! I hate YouTube!" - well, you won't have to watch them. Like everything intended to be commercially successful, this product contains some features that not everybody will want.
"But YouTube quality is terrible!" - Well, this is more about giving us a lot of options. You don't watch YouTube videos for the production value, you watch it because it's raw video of people doing interesting things. And now you can sit on your couch and watch them, just like we watch network television. This is all about making a level playing field for the little guys.

It will arrive when Jobs thinks we will enjoy the experience of downloading files that large. Most people are not going to find today's speed to be acceptable and they'll mistakenly blame Apple for that, so Jobs is going to let the networks catch up first.
I can already hear the complaints pouring in before they've even hit the page, so here are some rebuttals.
