[center][/center]
On Wednesday, Sept. 9, Apple will unveil its next-generation Apple TV, as weve already told you. And, as weve also already told you, the device is a significant overhaul of its hoary predecessor, with more powerful innards and a new remote that sources say has been drastically improved by a touchpad input and, as first reported by TechCrunch and independently confirmed by BuzzFeed, motion sensors that will allow it to function as game controller.
Thats the hardware. As for software, the forthcoming Apple TV will debut with a number of big features we reported back in March an App Store of its own and Siri integration that will support what sources in position to know describe as some pretty hardcore voice control. Recall that Siri figures prominently in Apples invitation to its upcoming event.
But theres another tentpole feature coming to the new Apple TV as well and its one for which anyone with the old Apple TV has been pining for years.

I've got a lot of milage out of my Apple TV over the last couple of years. As long as I can use my existing iTunes collection I'm good!
