Applications Install Just Fine on Apple TV

iPhone developer Steven Troughton-Smith has found out that you can easily install applications on the Apple TV. However, don't expect to run your favorite game on it just yet. You will need a launcher for that.

According to Steven, while you can install apps after modifying its type, you just can't launch them. There are no built-in facilities to do that, so someone has to do it. I bet the first ones will be the jailbreakers (hello, SNES and PlayStation 2 emulators!), but Apple will follow soon. I mean, they don't have any other options but to put apps in this thing. If they don't want it to follow the fate of the previous Apple TV, anyway. [Twitter]
