I dont see any real advantage in streaming directly from the iPhone, especially since all that content is on your primary Mac/PC.

Its more likely that they will provide an application which allows you to control the AppleTV without needing to have your TV switched on…

Worried about some articles about possible heat problems killing iphones within a few days. All and all this phone is awsome, went from a moto Q from back when was a windows user till i saw the light that osx had to offer. Way better. all i have to say is come on apple/att where are the ringtones?????? (iphone tones are alright but man having to give up being able to make and use my own mp3 ringtones such a drag) apple/att should not worry over who gets to sell ringtones and give it up. Hey what about a hack to use ur own tones????? any1?????

Any body have technical documentation of any kind on the AppleTV and/or iPhone?

It would be great to go to your buddies place, sit your iPhone on top of his AppleTV, and have the latest movie you bought WiFi it’s way to his AppleTV – streaming playback – no copying. Pop the popcorn the show is about to start!

For your own iPhone and your own AppleTV, using the USB Cable to
copy, load and unload files between the two devices would be most excellent.
(same iTunes ID, same account, so copying back and forth would be ok.)

AM and got hers 2 hrs later. Really no reason not to love what it can do, it does it very well. Though some folks want it to do more… depends on what you need it for.

Obviously no IR, so depends if Apple decides to write remote controls over Wi-Fi. Most likely an httpd deamon on Apple TV with a web 2.0+AJAX Bonjour URL you can load up in Safari on iPhone would be the slick way to go… anyone wanna get working on this?

From the iPhone hacking attempts so far, it sounds like there’s a port open on the iPhone for discovery… so guests iPhones may just show up on Apple TV to stream music/photo/video, so Apple may already have that hack in mind.

I don’t think the iPhone will work with the video ipod cable, I didn’t think it had the chipset necessary to do NTSC video out?

The iPhone will work via Wi-Fi, AppleTV syncs via Wi-Fi. It may just be another URL to the iPhone. Sure, electronic manufacturers need to think beyond RCA jacks and IR. HDMI, webservices, SOA.... btw..I already use my Nokia Internet Tablet to remote control my Olive Musica and there's no need for line of sight IR...just a "HotSpot" in my house. I've also been using Chicken-of-the-VNC on the MacBook to control Musica. When the iPhone arrives in 2 weeks I'll let you know how that does. cheers!]]> >Michael Long

GREAT IDEA ! (Well, I am the one who suggested it too...) AppleTV USB should be able to read the files off of the iPhone and play them. The iPhone should be able to load/unload files from AppleTV.
