Airtight brings AirPlay to Google TV

If you own a bunch of iOS devices and wished that your Google TV could support iOS AirPlay so that you can stream content from your devices to your TV – you’re in luck. A developer named Yossie has come up with a solution called Airtight. All you have to do is install the app onto your Google TV, hook it up to your iOS device, and you can start streaming content wirelessly over to the set top box. It’s that simple to use.

Unfortunately at the moment there is no support for mirroring, DRM-protected movies and music, but for everything else it should work. While access to those features will be enabled in the future, you can pick up Airtight for only $0.99 from the Android Market now. Give it a shot and let us know what you think.

Google Google is an Internet Search company with profits mainly derived from its AdWords advertising program. Google is also known for other high-profile web-related products such as Chrome, GMail, Google Docs or Google Map, and it has also made a very successful entry into the mobile handset market with its Android mobile operating system. The company was created in 1998 and went public in 2004. Google is one of the most visited site in the world.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
