Post your comments for Apple TV software update adds support for iPhone gestures here

I just installed the update and spent a few minutes experimenting with the iPhone gestures. I must say I'm very impressed. Gestures provide an efficient and natural way to control the AppleTV and are a welcome addition. Overall the AppleTV feels much more responsive and I appreciate the UI enhancements, including being able to browse movies by genre (finally).
This is a positive step forward, but I'd still like to see a major update to allow things like widgets and live streaming. While there at it, I hope Apple updates the UI to place more emphasis on my content and less on the iTunes Store. A request that has been echoed by many users.

Is this flicking done with a finger on the touch screen, or is it a flick of the wrist for the accelerometer?

Great update! I think the AppleTV is becoming better all the time.

Until Apple TV supports video looping I will NEVER recommend it! The PS3 is a far better solution.

Thankfully, Apple TV firmware version 2.4 also fixed the DRMed media delete bug that was documented by Ted Landau last week in the "Bugs & Fixes: Apple TV deletes files" article on MacWorld.com.
