More MobileX goodness! Much of today was spent making apps run as the full-screen iPad versions. I started writing a new launcher from scratch for the TV form factor; as of right now it's not using IR remote input - we're controlling most things from VNC or over SSH.

Here you can see me demonstrating a few apps, like Facebook, Maps, Safari and YouTube. Most apps (and games) from the App Store should work too. As you can see, iOS kinda works on larger screens!

I'm @stroughtonsmith and MobileX was built by @TheMudkip, and we've spent the past two days together making this work on AppleTV. If Apple isn't going to give us a way to make real AppleTV apps, then I guess we'll have to make one ourselves :-)
