“Groovy Motherfucker”

Holy shitting crikey. I was hoping this would happen and it has. MLB’s all-games streaming service will work on your Apple TV (along with your iPad and iPhone) for a price that’s $100 cheaper than buying the equivalent package on cable or satellite (basically covering your purchase of an Apple TV if you don’t already own one!)

The Incident (fab iOS game) now has a TV mode. You connect your iPad via video cable to your TV, then use your iPhone (over wifi) as a controller.

Does anyone watch this and *not* see the future of Apple TV? Games downloaded to your telly, controlled by the handheld iOS devices in the room. I’ll eat my hat if we don’t see something like this promoted by WWDC 2011.

So simple, it barely counts as a “hack”. If this is for real, then I’ll buy one in a heartbeat. Guess the Apple TV really *is* running OS X.

This is going to hurt Squeezebox quite a bit, I imagine. The second someone works out how to stream DiVX files from off-of BitTorrent to this without transcoding, I’m in.

Amazon have Apple TVs ready to ship right now!
