iTunes 9 files point to iTunes U syncing with Apple TV
By Jim DalrympleSeptember 14, 2009, 9:30 am PT
Apple’s recently released iTunes 9 may hint at an upcoming update for the company’s home media player, Apple TV.
One of iTunes’ localization files asks “Are you sure you want to remove the selected iTunes U item from your Apple TV?” Currently Apple’s iTunes U free educational content is not synced as a separate category to an Apple TV.
Looking at the localization file, it appears that iTunes U content will be synced the same as music and video content — on a per account basis. Changing the account the Apple TV is synced with will also remove iTunes U content.
Apple also on Monday discontinued its 40GB Apple TV and dropped the price of the 160GB model to $229. While a new, larger hard drive model is likely, it is not the major rev of the device I expect to be released sometime next year.
It seems reasonable to assume that the software update needed to sync iTunes U content with the Apple TV will come with an upgraded device sometime in the near future.

Couple this with the stuff about the LP TuneKit stuff, and I’d say that there’s a new update for AppleTV on the way.
