Apple has finally gotten around to issuing its promised software update for the Apple TV set top box. The biggest change is that users will now be able to download videos from the iTunes store using their Apple TV, no computer necessary. And since Apple also recently launched video rentals, that means you buy or rent movies or TV shows without leaving your house, or your couch.

Users can also view online photos from .Mac and Flickr pages. You can check out your own images or pictures shared by your friends and contacts. You can also listen to music while you play a photo slideshow.
