Apple today announced that it is offering a new Apple TV build-to-order option with a 160GB hard drive, addressing one of the most common complaints about the device, its relatively puny storage space. The new larger hard drive offers four times the storage for up to 200 hours of video, 36,000 songs, 25,000 photos or a combination of each.

The larger hard drive paves the way for HD video downloads, HD video podcasts and other advanced Internet television services.

Apple TV connects to a broad range of widescreen TVs and home theater systems, bringing iTunes content such as movies or video podcasts to the living room. Apple TV comes standard with HDMI, component video, analog and optical audio ports.

Using 802.11n Wi-Fi wireless networking, Apple TV can auto-sync content from one computer or stream content from up to five additional computers right to a TV.
