We've had it with all these crappy 30 second videos and pictures of the new firmware! We want something new, and after King Chronic said "enough" to Google Video, he decided that torrenting was the correct method to download the admittedly large 1.2GB 6 minute video. The video highlights many of the features that aren't showed off in either of the two other videos.

He shows of a lot of the new features that are included in the new Preferences.app, shows the new Calculator buttons, Parental Controls, Microsoft Exchange, and more. I'm probably missing something, but you can download the video and find out what those things are. Once everyone is done downloading, there will be more than one seeder.

It's a lot bigger than the image in the original post suggests, I scaled it down. It's like HD or something.

I think someone could download that and downscale it and re upload it. There are several 1.2 YouTube videos:

I have uploaded the video to YouTube and it can be found here.

The reason the original was so large is because it was in DV format at 720 x 480 (or so QuickTime Player leads me to believe).

I have not edited the video in any way (unless you count compressing with a new codec :-P )
