We own the Apple TV and love it. However, the new software update with YouTube shows why the Apple TV seriously needs a more full featured remote and/or keyboard access. The parental control passcode to block YouTube access is visible during entry. Also, when entering the password for YouTube the password is shown with asterisks but anyone can see the keys being selected. If the passcode was restricted to numbers then passcode entry could be more private like with cable and satellite boxes.
Similarly, with people asking about attaching to the iTunes store, how will password entry be protected? Does a person always have to wait for others to leave the room or house?
On another note, how will backing up your music work?
What if different family members purchase music? How do they get them on their iPods? Is the music stuck on the Apple TV?
