Hackers have succeeded in running real iOS applications on the Apple TV, reports Steve Troughton-Smith.

Using @TheMudkip's MobileX window manager for iOS, and @chpwn's MobileLaunchpad launcher to go with it, we now have multiple iOS apps running natively on AppleTV, without AirPlay.

According to Troughton-Smith when this hack is finished you should be able to run any and iOS apps on the Apple TV.

You can check out some video and photos of their progress below. In preparation, you might want to jailbreak your Apple TV with the new Seas0nPass update released earlier today.
