A busy Monday for Cupertino as right after releasing the iOS 6.1 software update, Apple updated the AppleTV's software. The new software enables the use of Bluetooth keyboards and more streaming music features for tracks bought in iTunes and shared via iCloud as well as a "Up Next" feature that shows users what's on cue. So is Apple's famous "hobby" getting to be a bit more serious (they sold 2 million AppleTVs in the holiday quarter, a surprising 60 per cent increase from a year ago quarter!).

Interesting to note that while iPods and Macs are seeing less sales, the AppleTV is still in demand. Being able to use a Bluetooth keyboard is a long awaited feature and something that might hint at a real Apple TV device in the near future.
