Apple TV to be powered by iOS, jailbreaking depends......

Deep within the USB device configuration list for the latest iOS 4.2 beta 1 is an iProd 2,1 descriptor that links to an entry for the AppleTV2,1.

The AppleTV2,1 key refers to the second hardware revision of the Apple’s digital media device which was announced at Apple’s Fall 2010 event. Not only does this identify the mystery device as the new Apple TV, it also confirms that the streaming device is powered by Apple’s mobile OS, not the propriety Mac OS X of the original Apple TV.

It is possible that iOS for the Apple TV shares the same vulnerabilities as its iPhone and iPod touch counterparts.

Assuming there is enough on-board storage available on the Apple TV, the Apple hacking community could jailbreak this device and enable support for applications.
