With AirPlay, you can play live-stream video and audio from an iOS device to an Apple TV. Opening up AirPlay is considered to be a revolution of media technology; however, it remains some limitations such as only responding to some Apple\'s applications. Steve Jobs expects that this technology will better solve such limitations in the year 2011.
