AirPlay mirroring will probably never be available. From what little is known, it does not simply take the image from your iPad screen and send it to the ATV2, but instead works by sending the apps themselves directly to the ATV2 and running them natively. This reduces latency and provides a smoother experience, but means it only works with Apple's processors.
To get mirroring to work on a PC would require an emulator to be written that runs iOS, in addition to reverse engineering the decryption that protects the whole system. Even if someone actually went through all of the trouble to do this... Apple could defeat it with a software update, rendering hours (if not months/years) of work pointless. :p If you want mirroring, buy an ATV2.

That's sending video from an app. Mirroring is displaying everything that iDevice does on the screen, entirely separate functionality.

The recommendation was to use one or the other, and not have them both enabled concurrently. If you spend more time in XBMC then turn on it's Airplay feature but if you spend more time in the Apple TV menu or if you run into trouble with XBMC's implementation then use the native Apple Airplay.
So ya, it's ok to enable the native Airplay, but don't try to use it inside XBMC or XBMC will crash.

The possible work around is to use Veency on the ipad and a vnc program, but it is laggy and at least on my tv part of my ipad's screen doesnt show without scrolling. It works fine for reading a book on screen but what i really wanted was to be able to play Monopoly that way but its just too laggy and not the right size.
