If you've been dreaming of browsing YouTube on your Apple TV device you are in luck. Via a software update in June, you will be able to browse YouTube videos right from your living room (or wherever you have your AppleTV).

“This is the first time users can easily browse, find and watch YouTube videos right from their living room couch, and it’s really, really fun,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “YouTube is a worldwide sensation, and Apple TV is bringing it directly from the Internet onto the widescreen TV in your living room.”

Thousands of the most current and popular YouTube videos will be available on Apple TV at launch in mid-June, with YouTube adding thousands more each week until the full YouTube catalog is available this fall. With Apple TV’s stunning interface and simple Apple Remote, users can easily navigate through YouTube’s familiar video browsing categories or search for specific videos. YouTube members can also log-in to their YouTube accounts on Apple TV to view and save their favorite videos.

Also good news is a new 160GB hard drive version of the AppleTV. This will increase the capacity up to 200 hours of video, 36,000 songs, 25,000 photos or a combination of each.

The new 160GB version of the AppleTV is available tomorrow for a price of $399 USD.
