Leopard sports AppleTV like FrontRow....
June 11, 2007
Just after the Keynote, where Steve revealed the latest features of OS-X Leopard, the apple website was relaunched with a new inspired look. One thing EntertainMac took notice of is
Leopard's version of FrontRow.
Only armed with screen shots it appears that Backrow, the mediacenter application running on AppleTV is essentially FrontRow 2.0. There are a few noticeable differences. FrontRow 2 has a DVD feature, previously not found in Backrow. But missing from the menus are YouTube, Setting and Sources. One must believe all this is controlled through iPhoto, iTunes and System Preference.
One can only assume FrontRow 2.0 will run quicker then FrontRow as it does not preview movies. Adding the descriptions DVD covers is just another added bonus. I can't wait to see this live and in person.
