Apple TV can run fullscreen iOS Applications - Unofficially

Apple TV is one of the low budget Apple iOS device from a company which provides total entertainment to its users. The price of the Apple TV is low as $99.00 contains powerful hardware specification includes Apple A4 chipset with a PowerVR SGX535 and 256 megabytes of RAM, running modified iOS builds from those on iPods touch, iPhone touch, and iPad touch. Apple TV exists as a media center settop box officially but users can also Run any iOS Applications including apps from iPhone, iPod and iPad on jailbroken Apple TV unofficially.

There is one video available on internet which provides you an evidence of running iOS Apps on Apple TV. The video shows demo of some iOS Apps like Facebook, Maps, Safari and YouTube on a jailbroken Apple TV. This is not AirPlay, the apps are running directly from the Apple TV and scaling to 720p. 

According to MacDaddy News, MobileX is a window manager for iOS that replaces Springboard, letting iPhone and iPad apps run on the Apple TV. Since the Apple TV doesn�t have a touch screen, they are using a combination of VNC, SSH and the Apple Remote to launch and navigate apps. Once the app progress finalized by two developers, you will be able to launch apps using only the remote. I think its one of the cheapest way to run iOS Apps directly on $99 Apple TV.

iPhone's Siri Hacked to Start Car

The new iPhone 4S has some incredible new features. Amongst these would be its ability to provide a weather report or directions to a particular destination. Siri is able to read your text messages to you. Siri can even be asked to remember dates and appointments. Now, another function for Siri has been discovered. Siri can be used to start up your car.

An IT professional from New York by the name of Brandon Fiquett was able to create a way in which for Siri to do this. Using a proxy SIRI server, Fiquett created a plug-in that allowed him to use Siri on his iPhone 4S to send commands to his car, which is an Acura TL. The plug-in he created takes Siri commands and passes then on to Fiquett's personal web server. After this, a connection is made to a special module that has been installed in the vehicle. This module is known as a Viper SmartStart module. Through this process, Siri can not only start the car�s engine and stop it, it does even more. The alarm system can be either armed or disarmed. The trunk can be popped using Siri. Additionally, Siri can be used to put the alarm into panic mode.

Fiquett�s work was in an effort to prove a concept. However, some hackers have already been using the iPhone 4S�s Siri to target certain vehicles for theft. Some have even taken what Fiquett determined and going through other technological devices found within a car such as media players and GPS systems. 

Keep in mind only people who are rather technological savvy can do this. Since Siri is relatively new, coming out with the iPhone 4S release in the middle of October, it will be interesting to see what other alternative users people find for their iPhone 4S using Siri. 

There's a range of new humourous sites that look into the silly things that Siri says, such as Whatsiriissaying.co.uk, so check out these sites to see what Siri's take on your questions is.

Apple iOS 5.0 and iCloud Details and Features Information

Apple has finally announced its upcoming iOS 5.0 firmware version for Mac and iDevices at annual WWDC event. Steve Jobs holds the mike to announce the new flagship of software suites for Mac and iDevices, Apple announced that to date, they have had more than 14 billion downloads, with over 90,000 iPad apps. They have paid developers more than $2.5 billion dollars so far.

Apple started off the new feature list with notifications. Apple has removed the old notification popup system for a more inline notification system, making it less annoying when you're watching a video or playing a game. The 'notification center' will act similar to Android, where your menu swipes down, revealing alerts for all of your phone, messages, emails and more. The notification center is even on your lock screen too.

The lock screen has received a major update, allowing for notifications from apps, messages, and even listening to voice mail without having to slide to unlock the phone.

iOS 5.0 also comes with 'Newsstand', a new subscription-based application that has a ton of newspaper and magazine companies on board, including New York Times, SF Chronicle, Daily Telegraph, and more.

iOS 5 Twitter support

Much rumored beforehand, Apple has introduced Twitter natively into iOS 5, with a 'one click' option for applications to let you use Twitter functionality.

All you'll need to do is sign in through the Settings menu and any app can request integration with your Twitter account, meaning no more constant signing in to every new application you download. It's also fully integrated with the Camera and Photo apps, for example.

You can also tweet articles from Safari and locations from Maps.

iOS 5 Safari

A new reading mode has been introduced in Safari, which removes distraction and provides you with a single, scrolling story. Bye bye, ads! You can now also email the contents of the story as well as the link. There's also a Reading List option so you can save stuff to look at later. We bet Read It Later and Instapaper are well chuffed about that. There's also tabbed browsing and lightning-fast window switching.

iOS 5 Reminders

A reminders feature enables you to store Lists, assign reminders to any dates or even location-specific info. These sync across devices and with iCal.

iOS 5 Camera

There's now a camera button on the lock screen, while you can also use the volume button to take pictures - a great addition. Apple says its camera is one of the most commonly used pieces of hardware on photo-sharing sites like Flickr, and has updated the functionality accordingly.

Photo editing software for easy cropping and enhancement has been added in to iOS 5, and pinching to zoom will zoom in on images when you're trying to take a pic.

iOS 5 Mail

The app now has new elements like draggable addresses so you can pop them across from To to Cc or Bcc.

Flagging and full-searchable messages have been added in too, plus rich text formatting for easier interaction with your e-mails.

A built in dictionary makes it easier to keep your spelling under control, and for the iPad: a split keyboard.

Simply grabbing it with your thumbs and sliding upwards will split it in two, making it easier to tap out emails more speedily.

iOS 5 Game Center

Game Center now lets you browse and download games directly, as well as introducing Achievementpoints, There's also Friend Discovery. Gamer profiles have been updated to include photos as well, plus turn-based gaming is baked right into the application for more responsive gaming.

Last up, Apple introduced iMessage. The new instant messaging service allows any iDevice (iPhone, iPod touch and iPad) to communicate with each other. The new application is very similar to the SMS application, but is completely free. Similar to BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), the application allows you and your friends to instant message one another, from anywhere in the world, without the added roaming charges. iMessage requires WiFi or 3G to send and receive.

iOS 5.0 beta will be made available for the following iDevices:

• iPod touch (4th generation)
