Apple Releases Apple TV 2.3 Software Update

Apple has released a new update for the Apple TV tonight. Apple TV owners can download the new updates by accessing the "Update Software" menu option in their Apple TV's settings.

Apple lists the new features and fixes found in 2.3:

- Music can be streamed via AirTunes to Airport Express speakers or other Apple TVs in your house.
- Apple TV can now learn other remote controls and use them in addition to the Apple Remote.
- Playlists in iTunes that contain Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and Music Videos can now be seen on Apple TV.
- Support for volume control in Music.

Apple last released an update to the Apple TV in October which incorporated a number of new iTunes 8.0 features including the Genius playlist features.

Update: Boxee users should not upgrade at this time.

That article completely misses the point and focus Apple has for the :apple:TV.

I agree that Apple's focus is too narrow and it's the consumer that suffers for it. But the fact is they consider it nothing more than a portal to their service. They consider use of their products in ways that don't benefit Apple further to be detrimental to their bottom line. Even if they are actually limiting their sales in the end. End of story. It's the company culture. Thanks Mr. Jobs.

It woud be nice if you could use the iPhone remote as a replacement for the little white one instead of having to swap back and forth...

Anyways. The notes are interesting. Does that mean we finally get volume controls?

Perhaps we could see remote control ability over wifi with iPhone????
