YouTube Coming to Apple TV

Wow, big announcement from Apple: YouTube Coming to Apple TV, New 160Gb model for $399.

I've loved my AppleTV since I got it, especially since I upgraded the hard drive to 160Gb with a weaknees kit, but one thing that is missing is being able to access YouTube content on my TV. Currently about the only easy way is to use a Wii running Opera, but that's far from convenient. It looks like Apple's struck a deal with Google to provide an easy interface to YouTube. Hopefully they allow stuff like logging into the service, so I can easily fetch playlists and my favorites to watch on my TV.

It's great to see them offering a 160Gb drive (though it'll certainly kill the upgrade drive market). The original 40Gb drive was simply too small for anything more than a few movies and half my music library. With the 160Gb drive, it's enough to cover all my music, all my movies, and every photograph I've taken for the past 5 years (and I have about 30Gb free to spare).
