“In the current beta version (iOS 4.3), Apple seems to finally be opening up its AirPlay feature to third party developers,” Alexander Vaughn reports for AppAdvice. “In a nutshell, it will allow any app to stream both audio and video from an iOS device to an Apple TV.”
“While iOS 4.3 hasn’t been released yet, it seems that Apple is already allowing iOS 4.3 AirPlay-enabled apps into the App Store,” Vaughn reports. “The first of them, StreamToMe just made it to the store and allows users to stream video to an Apple TV that was sent from a computer to your device… this particular use scenario isn’t really game-changing. Yet, we’re glad to have confirmation that Apple is indeed opening up the feature.”

“Apple begins approving iOS 4.3-compatible AirPlay apps”
Did Apple approve a single iOS 4.3 compatible app or several of these APPS?
Love it when they play fast and loose with facts.
“Crunchyroll” is a great app that allows you to watch free subtitled Japanese anime on your iPhone or iPad. If I could stream the video to my Apple TV… wow.

By live video, I mean from the camera on the iPhone…
Is there a way to stream Netflix or Hulu plus to your ATV2?
Well if they enable the video streaming capability from the PBS Newshour and 60 Minutes apps I’ll be very happy. Right now I can send the audio from these apps using Airplay, but they video isn’t enabled.

You can stream Netflix to TV right now as long as you have a Netflix account and an internet connection. It’s great.
Guys…. Think, as the iPhone becomes more powerful? Imagine streaming games and the iPhone is the remote!
All I want is a web browser for Apple TV2.
