MobileX App Launcher For Jailbroken AppleTV


Submitted by Dan; January 04, 2012
Hackers Steven Troughton-Smith and Nick have made excellent progress in porting iOS apps to a jailbroken Apple TV. They first showed how they have managed to get iOS apps running on a jailbroken Apple TV. They even figured out a way to get iPad apps to work in full-screen mode. They've posted a video of iPad apps running in full-screen mode along with a glimpse of the application launcher called MobileX. The MobileX app launcher will allow users to launch apps on a jailbroken Apple TV just like the way we can launch apps from the Springboard on iOS devices.
The application launcher reminds us of the days before the App Store for iPhone and iPod touch devices. It didn't take a lot of time for Apple to realize the potential of native apps and then shortly after launched the App Store for iPhone and iPod touch in July 2008. Hopfullye the trend continues and 2012 is also the year of the App Store for Apple TV.
