So they're introducing a subscription service to allow you to play games that you own already on your tv? This seems like a terrible business model. A device you buy once, sure. A $7 fee forever? What the hell?
I agree, it sounds terrible.

Although you say you're not using any Apple bits, I don't know if there's any restriction from Apple about usage of iOS/Cocoa apps outside the app store.

Doesn't Apple TV already do this through Airplay?
If they don't now, they will.
As a developer, NO WAY would I risk this. No, thanks.
Besides that: phone/tablet != TV. There will be too much "lost in the translation".

I imagine BlueStacks will be receiving a cease and desist letter from Apple anytime now.
Interesting thought, but what if they come to market now with some hack hardware that doesn't sell, get all their games ready for the TV format, then WHEN Apple does come out with a TV, they are first to market for Apples AppleTV App Store.
I wouldn't be surprised if they already have developers working on an jailbroken AppleTV. This is a good gamble if you want to be running out of the starting gate.
