Apple TV 3.0 Software Update Pushed Out [iTunes Store T&C Change, Reveal Release Date for Apple TV 3.0 is Soon]

Today, Apple have made a change to their iTunes Store terms and conditions, and somebody with a sharp eye and a lot of time on his hands, discovered something useful after ploughing through all the legal mumbo-jumbo — apparently Apple’s TV 3.0 software update is coming soon. A new paragraph added under the “iTunes LP and iTunes extras’ says that they can only be used with computers running iTunes 9 or higher and Apple TV with software 3.0 or higher.
If the last update for Apple TV was when the “Take Two” 2.0 firmware was released at Macworld Expo in January 2008, the new Apple TV 3.0 is expected to add Snow Leopard features such as QuickTime X and HTTP Live Streaming protocol support.
The iTunes LP format which was released in September allows for the sale of full-length albums and comes with support for additional content such as photos, videos and other bonus material. The iTunes Extras service delivers bonus materials for movies such as those found on DVDs.
There is still no word as to when Apple will release the Apple TV 3.0 software update, but we can patiently wait for it, right?
