Yep, just downloaded.

Will we need an AppleTV update for video Airplay?

I'm a little confused: It says "Use AirPlay to instantly and wirelessly stream videos from iTunes to the all-new Apple TV."

Well, we have already been able to stream video from iTunes to the new AppleTV ever since it was released several weeks ago. That is, the new AppleTV can be configured to 'pull' video content from iTunes on your Mac. So how does iTunes 10.1 change anything?

On the other hand, does 10.1 mean we can now initiate the playing of video content right inside iTunes and have it 'pushed' to the AppleTV? If that is what is involved in the new update then it is not working for me. Only audio can be 'pushed' to the AppleTV. But that was the case even before the 10.1 update.

Perhaps someone can enlighten us?

No. It means it is using AirPlay, not simply wifi.
AirPlay allows you to send send audio/video from your iDevices to iTunes/AppleTV and from iTunes to AppleTV and iTunes on other computers
Only audio can be 'pushed' to the AppleTV.

When AppleTV gets updated, then you will be able to push audio & video from you iDevices to AppleTV.

To the users who have not already updated iTunes 10.1, I more than highly recommend you wait for a further version. Although it's stability has increased significantly (no crashing), iTunes 10.1 performance is the second worse I've seen since iTunes 4.0. The first release of iTunes 9 was by far the worst. When scrolling thru a larger music library, it tends to freeze (doesn't crash). The songs also hangs and creates sound liked a scratched disk. I sure do remember those days. But ****, you know what they say, history repeats it's self.
