its something i want to try but its for an iphone lol and i can't find ANY info on the net for this ever being attempted on an ATV2 and i dont feel like being a guinea pig to be honest lol.
perhaps when i get another ATV2 i'll have a play and see what happens.
to Sarlic:
im with most everyone else here, i just got the ATV2 as a cheap "second room" box and seeing how good it actually is i've decided to pursue it further and get a few more for all the rooms in my house. however i still have a MAIN htpc box that i use for my main theater room as i want it to be able to handle EVERYTHING i throw at it. pretty much any setup of cheap up to date hardware will run xbmc and all media flawlessly these days, even with win 7 on it.
my main HTPC is still just running an old E6300 cpu with 4gb of ram and an ATI 3470.
all up i think it cost me about $200 about 3 years ago lol and its still going strong. i spent double that on the case for it lol.
but for just general watching of shows thru analog sound etc in my bedroom, loungroom, etc the ATV2 is perfect and OH so cheap and OH so small, hell its basically the same damn size as my IR receiver for my remote on my main box lol. hard to beat that. plus the remote is just sex.
it might have SOME issues playing SOME stuff but its a small price to pay for how cheap and small it is.
hell it takes all of like an hour to download a 720p movie anyway so any stuff i have issues with i just re-download in 720p and its fine. with 50tb of storage im not bothered lol just wish i lived in a country that didn't have stupid download limits on our internet lol.
1TB a month is just not enough these days hehe

Should work on everything including the ATV2. Believe it or not, the touchpad would even work with an iPad.
if you end up getting this let me know, it looks pretty awesome and i've been looking at something similar for a while now and just havn't had the time to stuff around with it.
would be great if it works out cause i could upgrade my main HTPC remote finally to something i can use for the net etc as well alot easier. especially since i watch alot of NFL gamepass on my main setup and im sick of using the remote as a mouse lol.
