Now that pod2g has done the heavy lifting and released an untethered jailbreak for iOS5 (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/27/untethered-jailbreak-now-available-for-pre-a5-iphones-ipads-and/), the Seas0NPass tool has been updated for your untethered jailbreaking pleasure on Apple TVs running even the latest 4.4.4 update (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/15/apple-update-twofer-apple-tv-hits-4-4-4-9a406a-minor-ios-5-0/). Redmond Pie has a full walkthrough and how-to that should help you get things going, so that you no longer have to choose between extending your device's capabilities beyond Apple's restrictions (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/08/jailbroken-apple-tv-plays-html5-blackjack-ios-gambling-rings-ca/) (still no Plex support on 4.4.4 though Update: Plex Beta 4 has been released which is compatible with 4.4.4., thanks Christo & Tulio) and features like AirPlay mirroring (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/12/photo-stream-nhl-airplay-mirroring-and-more-added-to-apple-tv/). Even more interestingly however, a few hackers may be close to unlocking iOS apps for use on the Apple TV (http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/01/apple-tv-jailbreak-complete-next-step-figuring-out-how-to-run/). There's nothing released yet but we'll be following @themudkip and @westbaer on Twitter for further updates as they're available. In the meantime, check out a couple shots of iOS apps running on the Apple TV after the break, courtesy of Steven Troughton-Smith.

Update: Still images not enough to get you going? Check after the break or hit the YouTube link for a quick video demo of iOS apps running on Apple's TV box. Our friend STS hopes (https://twitter.com/#!/stroughtonsmith/status/152941258296406016) this may push the folks in Cupertino to open their doors to apps officially similar to the way things happened back in '07 on the iPhone -- for now we can only wait.
