Not sure if the trailers are in high-def or not. The trailer for the Italian Job looked only OK, not great. Didn't try to rent the movie.

The menu system has changed from the Front Row-like system of old. It'll take a little getting used to. The options for all of the personal content is the last option in each section (TV, Movies, Music) which makes it a little more cumbersome to get to. Obviously Apple wants you to go to the Store and buy new content. We've seen all of this on Apple.com and at the Keynote in January.

The installation was painless. The unit went through a number of restarts before the update was finished. Total time with download and installation on a cable connection was less than 10 minutes. The only things that I had to change on the AppleTV after the install was the resolution of my television and my Apple Store account information. The AppleTV defaulted back to 720 instead of 1080p. I also think the 1080p mode is new. I only remember 1080i being there before. I may be wrong on that.

With some decent promotion by Apple, the AppleTV could eventually move out of the "hobby" category that it is now in. This looks like a very solid update.]]>Feb 12th 2008 2:20PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/12/apple-tv-take-2-update-now-available/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/12/apple-tv-take-2-update-now-available/
Also, Flickr screensaver is really nice.]]>Feb 12th 2008 10:11PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/12/apple-tv-take-2-update-now-available/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/12/apple-tv-take-2-update-now-available/

If you look under "Trailers" there is an HD only section of all their HD movie trailers. (including the new Star Trek movie!) :) ]]>Feb 13th 2008 2:39PM
