Updated Apple TV 2.1 Feature List

Now that we’ve had a little time to play with Apple TV after the 2.1 update, we compiled a list of the new features which were added. If there are any features which we may have missed please let us know.

1. Movies > Wish List - We now have the ability to add select movies to a wish list for later rental.

2. Movies > Trailers - The movie trailers are now consolidated into one list with each movie represented by a thumbnail as opposed to the list only. An HD version of the trailer is selectable if available. Not all trailers are available in HD.

3. Photos > Mobile Me - Replaces .Mac

4. Photos > My Photos - Photos are now displayed in a thumbnail view with the ability to view as a slideshow.

5. Music > My Music > Playlists - Playlists are now represented with the same icon used in iTunes and a “Radio” playlist thumbnail is used for playlists consisting of internet radio streams.

6. Music > My Music > Albums - Each album now contains a small thumbnail representing the album cover.

7. Music > My Music > Compilations - New menu item?

8. Settings > General > Remotes - iPhone users now have the ability to use your phone as a remote to control your music selection.

I like the wishlist. We have an 11 year old and he can now make a list of rated R movies that we will say no to. I know TV Shows has favorites but I think a wishlist there would be a nice addition as well.

Good job keeping me up on the info. Sometimes all of the AppleTV news gets pushed aside for iPhone news and I miss the small things.

FINALLY! Compilations. My artist list feels slip and trim.

Oops… slip = slim

I was finally able to get streaming radio to work.
