It certain didn’t take long for a dev village to penetrate into Apple TV’s iOS build. One of a first payouts is the pier of Apple TV’s “lowtide” 10-foot user interface to an iPod touch as briefly demonstrated in the first video after the break. While not very utilitarian upon such the tiny arrangement, that could shift when ported to a iPad’s bigger 10-inch display. In fact, which competence be Apple’s devise according to our friend Erica Sadun who’s been busily spelunking the Apple TV’s hoop image. She posits which a iPad could launch a lowtide UI when responding to AirPlay requests in a future iOS build.

Another teenager feat was completed by TUAW reader Arix who spliced a Apple TV’s AirPlay daemon onto the jailbroken iPhone 3GS thus allowing it to receive AirPlay streams (second video). But a best news of all, maybe, is a capability to revive the Apple TV in iTunes by joining the micro-USB port to your mechanism. That means which existent PC- as well as Mac-based jailbreak tools can be updated to work over a tie. In fact, TinyUmbrella has already been updated to backup a Apple TV’s SHSH blobs in sequence to safety your ability to hillside in the destiny. With 8GB of storage as well as 256MB of IMPEL to play with, we think this small media puck will become utterly the developer stadium, with or but Apple’s consent.
