More MobileX goodness! Much of today was spent making apps run as the full-screen iPad versions. I started writing a new launcher from scratch for the TV form factor; as of right now it's not using IR remote input - we're controlling most things from VNC or over SSH.

Here you can see me demonstrating a few apps, like Facebook, Maps, Safari and YouTube. Most apps (and games) from the App Store should work too. As you can see, iOS kinda works on larger screens!

I'm @stroughtonsmith and MobileX was built by @TheMudkip, and we've spent the past two days together making this work on AppleTV. If Apple isn't going to give us a way to make real AppleTV apps, then I guess we'll have to make one ourselves :-)

  • When will this be released

  • That is pretty awesome for an Apple TV.. which costs $99.. I know it's unlikely that we see this.. But if future Apple TV ran iOS natively that would be a game changer..

  • @serbiaisnumber1 shut up fag.

  • nice work there! :)

  • @fordhogan whoaaa Mr handicapped brain!! 

  • @Un6aBe3ii actually iOS and MacOS is based on Darwin which is a fully POSIX compliant Unix OS based on BSD Unix so....not sure what the issue is? You can hack the hell out of a AppleTV using ssh. Its a hell of a little toy for $99 for any geek to play with.

  • This is what AppleTV should have been.

  • Is it compatible with IR remote ? If not it's possible to startt it from SSH putty ? also how to install it ?

  • hey will u show us how one day

    

  • How hard do you want to hit the enter key dude its not a fking rock. its just a button jesus.
