Apple TV, Take 2 is now available for existing AppleTV owners. Originally introduced during the MacWorld Keynote in January, then delayed, this version of AppleTV's software will now feature:

• HD and Standard Movie Rentals
  
• Purchase Music, Movies, TV Show and more without iTunes
  
• Browse Flickr and .Mac galleries
  
• Navigate iTune's Podcast Directories and subscribe

This version also features the new user interface, which we are not so found of. It still seems like a step backwards from the smooth FrontRow style. This also sends developers back to the drawing board to deal with plug ins.

The update is free and is currently available through AppleTV's Update Software menu item.
