More fullscreen Apple TV apps demonstrated [Jailbreak]

Following the hack that allows fullscreen apps to run on the Apple TV, developer Jack Perry, known as @Jackoplane on Twitter, decided to try porting his own apps to the bigger screen.

A quick preview of Frequencies for AppleTV... Waiting for @stroughtonsmith to test it on a real device.

The tweet was followed up by Steven Troughton-Smith showing the app running at full 720p on an actual Apple TV.

Some Beautiful AppleTV apps coming together right now; this one from @Jackoplane is nice.

The app, Frequencies, is a simple internet radio tuner, but demonstrates how the idea of fullscreen apps might work on the Apple TV. And it's really quite exciting.

Stephen says:

Think this is a great idea, I wonder how simple the control options are gonna be. Will I have to use my iPhone or go buy an apple track pad?

what's the point if I can mirror my ipad and iphone on my tv already?

Alex says:

I know right!

Ludacrisvp says:

Because not everyone has an iPad. And if we can add more functionality to a device why not?

This may not be the most beneficial place to inquire about this, but I am searching for a pest control company in the pittsburgh area and have no way to find out who's the very best. I found this business which is truly close to me and wanted to see if anyone has any reviews on them. Spectrum Pest Control, 3058 West Liberty Avenue, Dormont, PA 15216 - (412) 446-2802
