Yesterday, I wrote an article discussing why I felt Apple TV apps were already available today, although in an indirect form. Today, I came across a blog post with a similar view, only it was more focused on Apple TV as a gaming platform, starting with the launch of iOS 5. It’s a nice read to see what could be possible.

It seems that ever since Apple released their second generation Apple TV, people have wondered if it would officially support 3rd-party apps. The logic goes that since it is now built on iOS, why not follow in its siblings' (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) footsteps. And why not? Whether your a cable-cutter, a wannabe cable-cutter, or someone looking at adding additional functionality to your Apple TV, officially supported apps seem to make sense.
