Run iOS Apps Unofficially on Apple TV Coming soon!
1TheMudkip has rewritten the hole Springboard from scratch for the Apple TV. Potentially allowing users of the 99$ Apple TV to run Apple’s Appstore apps on their big screen tv. The hack is still in its early stage and there are not ETAs available yet but here’s a glimpse on what it will look like.
This will be controlled via an iPhone or iPad so this might eventually open possibilities of split-screen multiplayer games or angry birds on the big screen, etc. No ETAs yet but stay tuned for news!
Steve Jobs Autographed iPod Shuffle goes on sell on eBay
0A fourth-generation iPod Shuffle autographed by Steve Jobs is now up for grabs on eBay.
The owner of this rare iPod Shuffle noted:
He said him and three colleagues were invited to attend an Apple event in conjunction with the “innovators of tomorrow” program, where he had the rare opportunity to ask Jobs for his signature.
Owner asked:
“I hear you’re not really one to give autographs, but I just gotta ask…. will you sign my iPod? It’s fine if you don’t want to. I’m not normally one to even ask for autographs.
And Steve Jobs answered:
“It’s quite alright. You heard that about me? Well I wouldn’t say that I don’t like giving autographs, I guess I was never comfortable with the idea solely taking credit for something, which is to me what an autograph might imply. To be honest, I think I’m the last person who should sign something. A writer signing a book I can understand, but I think if anybody within our company should sign something, it should be members from our R&D team and all the others responsible for product innovation. It’s unfortunate that they all can’t receive the same level recognition. But I suppose it’s easier this way though?….you would need a pretty big iPod to fit all those signatures”
Got money to spend? Head over to the auction page! The auction is currently at US $15,655.55.
