YouTube Comes to Apple TV

It’s been a busy day for Apple. Steve Jobs just announced in an interview with tech columnist Walt Mossberg that starting in June, Apple TV owners will be able to watch YouTube videos on their living room televisions.

We shudder to think about the video quality, given how poor some of the videos look on our laptop screens. But this is an important step for Apple TV. YouTube enthusiasts who are used to crowding people around their computers now have another reason to buy one.

The next step here would be to let people watch YouTube videos on their iPhones. We’ll have to wait until next month to find out whether or not this will be possible.
