Apple updated the software that powers its second-generation Apple TV peripheral on Wednesday. Among the changes are new features exposed with the introduction of Apple’s new iCloud service.

The second-gen (black) Apple TV is now capable of supporting Photo Stream, an iCloud feature that lets you push images to the cloud from your iOS device. It also supports AirPlay mirroring, found on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S – wireless streaming of what’s on the iOS device screen. A new Trailers function gives you easier access to theatrical trailers.

Apple has also added two new special content options to the Apple TV: Users can now access National Hockey League (NHL) GameCenter Live content and get access to the Wall Street Journal Live, a service that provides financial information, business news and analysis.
