Apple TV restores in iTunes via micro-USB, UI hacked onto iPod touch (video)
It sure didn’t take long 4 the dev community to hack into Apple TV’s iOS build. 1 of the 1st payouts`s the port of Apple TV’s “lowtide” 10-foot user interface to an iPod touch as briefly demonstrated in the 1st video after the break. While not very useful on such the small display, Z could change when ported to the iPad’s bigger 10-inch display. In fact, Z might B Apple’s plan accord`g to our friend Erica Sadun who’s`en busily spelunk`g the Apple TV’s disk image. She posits Z the iPad could launch the lowtide UI when respond`g to AirPlay requests in the future iOS build. Another minor victory`s achieved by TUAW reader Arix who spliced the Apple TV’s AirPlay daemon onto the jailbroken iPhone 3GS thus allow`g it to receive AirPlay streams (second video). although (unless) the best news of all, perhaps,`s the ability to restore the Apple TV in iTunes by connect`g its micro-USB port to your computer.
