Apple today released Remote 3.0 which is designed to be in perfect sync with the new iTunes 11. It is simpler, easier, and gives you new ways to browse your library and see upcoming songs with Up Next. With just a few taps on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, you can add new songs to hear them next from iTunes on a Mac or PC, or an Apple TV. Choose playlists, songs, and albums as if you were in front of your computer or Apple TV. Or play them from iCloud with iTunes Match on Apple TV. Change a song, pick a playlist, or browse your entire library from anywhere in your home. Control your Apple TV with the flick of your finger or use the keyboard to quickly tap out a title instead of clicking letters on the Apple TV screen.

Didn’t that exist day one? If they remove YouTube or break Spotify control, I will never forgive Apple.
Troll – posted the same comment in 2 different stories.
Please return your Apple TV and STFU.
Troll or not, I guess freedom of speech doesn’t apply in your country.
um HUH?! Marc, and I for that matter, have full freedom of speech to point out when a troll is trolling. But you don’t like that, apparently.
Hardly. Been using and buying Apple products since 1992. Are you saying you can’t be critical of products and companies you like?
If you continue spam posting the same complaint over and over again, I will never forgive *you*.
It was an attempt to “Spam” I posted here first and realized the Apple TV software update was more appropriate. No way to edit in these forums. sorry.
“no attempt” not “an attempt”.
How new is the “new Apple TV”? I bought the little black one sometime last year. Is there a newer one?
It it plays 1080, you have the latest model.
You might check to see if there is a software update available. 🙂
Beautiful redesign. Best looking and most functional version so far. Thank you Apple!
It better be a big improvement because the current one is a piece of garbage compared to what a remote for ATV3 should be.
What is the matter with the old one? You want it to mow your lawn and make toast?
