At the heart of your WWDC experience are over 150 technical sessions and hands-on labs presented by Apple engineers and experts. Get in-depth information with presentations on the technologies that power iPhone OS, Leopard and Leopard Server, and code along during practical "how-to" sessions.
This year's WWDC takes place from June 9th - 13th in San Francisco. The event falls near the release of the iTunes App store and understandably has a large focus on iPhone application development as well as Mac development.
The update offers no details on either Apple's Website or the Apple TV itself, so we are assuming it to be a minor update with bug fixes.
The Apple TV 2.0.2 Update can be obtained by using Apple TV's Settings>General>Update Software command. Users will then see a "Software updating" message and after about 4 minutes or so with a cable modem, the user will be presented the choice "Update now" or "Update later."
Choosing "Update now" leads to a restart, then approximately four Apple logo flashes, an Apple logo with a progress bar, then about 5 more logo flashes and finally the short Apple TV intro movie.
