Apple TV (2nd Gen) Running HTML 5 Based Game (video)
Apple’s 2nd generation TV device as yet won’t officially allow any applications to run on it. But one industrious hacker named appletvblack has been able to jailbreak the device and run a simple HTML 5 based card game.
Adding to the speculation that Apple’s TV device could one day
eventually be able to play non jailbroken applications. Watch a brief
video after the jump to see the hack in action.
The game used in the demonstration is
hardly the most graphical or engaging, but it’s a great example of what
is capable with Apple’s TV and HTML 5. Apple has always said that their Apple TV device was merely a "hobby” and explains why the company hasn’t pushed it further.
