TWO of the icons of cool are joining forces, as Apple announces it will bring YouTube to the boob tube via Apple TV.
Is this a glimpse of the future of TV? Where user-generated content will be as widely available on your TV set as they are online.
Here’s an excerpt from the Reuters story:
Apple TV will stream videos wirelessly from the Internet on YouTube, starting in mid-June, the company said. Thousands of the most current and popular YouTube videos will be available then, it said, and the full catalog will be available in the fall.
Apple TV works with iTunes to play users’ content — video, movies, television shows and the like — wirelessly on a wide-screen television.
Apple also on Wednesday launched iTunes Plus, a music download service that has no copy-protection software limiting consumers’ use of the songs. It features artists with EMI Group, including Coldplay, The Rolling Stones and Joss Stone.
