Last January, Trend Hunter introduced you to the Apple TV. This week, Steve Jobs unveiled the new interface and updates. The story is not getting quite as much buzz as the new MacBook Air, but likely to impact more homes, is the Apple TV that doesn't require a computer to download and rent videos, buy music, watch podcasts, and view photo slideshows in HiDef with Dolby Digital sound. The price has been lowered for a very affordable $229.
It's another ingenious way for Apple to become a vital part of your everyday life, just like the iPod.
