    yaaay, a fully working, non stripped down version of xbmc is now available !
    this is good news !

    Installable on ip4, ipad, atv2 (non jailbreaker's need not apply ! ;) )

    aTV2
    This thing may fit in your pocket, but don’t underestimate its power. Unfortunately, it is seriously lacking in capability due to its limited feature-set revolving around rentals and iTunes. Where’s the fun in that?



    Full XBMC install, this is not a remote or thin client streamer.
    No longer is your AppleTV2 chained to iTunes.
    Who wants transcoded video anyway?
    Share files on your network your way.
    Full hardware decode for 720p/1080p movies.
    Everything else you know and love about XBMC.


    iPad/iP4
    What good is a tablet that makes you play by its rules? We at XBMC want our media our way.



    You guessed it, this is full-blown XBMC. Not a remote.
    Launch XBMC like any other app.
    Drag and drop media from your computer, or share it on your home-network
    Also fully hardware accelerated for most formats.
    Works on iPhone4, though it’s currently frustrating to use.
    Challenge: Who will be the first to create a gesture-driven skin?

    Wow, this looks very promising. Got it installed on the iPad and tried a 720p MKV real quick, seems to play really smoothly! Will have to put it through its' paces over the weekend but if it can smoothly play MKV files and works just as well on the AppleTV, then the AppleTV has finally become useful :).

    iP4 plays a 720p MKV surprisingly well! Streaming from a Windows machine via SMB it took about 3 seconds to load the video and played the entire thing without a hitch. A/V remained in sync the entire time. Very impressed!

    it could be better, maybe a gesture based remote system.
