So yes.
Wrong, mirroring is iPad 2 only. I'm sure the new iPhone will have the same capabilities too.
So it is now either cabled with an adapter or airplay with Apple TV? Still both very expensive options. I don't think it is worth it for just one device, iPad 2. Especially if you have so many other devices.
Do you know of any other two devices that will stream its screen to and HDTV for under $99 and do it well?
Let's not discount all the other things that the AppleTV does either. AppleTV is dirt-cheap for what it does and it's just gonna keep getting better.
The developer needs to add support for the TV's aspect ratio. There is a good chance Angry Birds will do this when iOS 5 is officially released.
I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding what you're staying, but the Apple TV will already display all the media on your Mac on your TV as long as it's in a quicktime compatible format.
This does make the Apple TV more useful though, mirror apps, the web, etc. (Not so much for YouTube, Netflix, or your iTunes library since it does that already.)
BUT WHY is this function not coming to the iPhone and just the iPad??? That's just stupid. Especially for gaming. The iPhone is a bit more ergonomically friendly for that kind of thing.
Wrong. The feature is called AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2, meaning just the iPad 2. The iPad 1's hardware isn't powerful enough to pull this off untethered. However, the iPhone 4 has zero hardware limitations.

Oh wait, (face slap), yes, if you could mirror your iPhone or iPod touch, it makes the need for a larger tablet screen less. Some people wouldn't bother buying the iPad. Bad Apple! Hello jailbreak community...
Yes. And they (Sega) won't be the last to stop making hardware to focus on software for other devices
Can't wait to play Super Mario Galaxy 3 on my iPad/Apple TV
The iPad 1 and iPhone 4 have the same processor. I would expect the next iPhone to have the exact mirroring capabilities when it comes out.
Nintendo are starting to be squeezed because they run platforms more closed and locked down than Apple ever has. The last time they dabbled in releasing their first party titles on someone elses hardware was for the CDi, and that was only a IP licence to a low budget producer that shipped pretty awful products. Nintendo maintain control of their own ecosystem of accessories, downloadable item store et al.
Yeah, because nobody ever takes their iPad out of the house...
This is the same thinking that said fail to the iPad when it came out because "it's just a giant iPod Touch." 14 months and 25 million units later...
WHAT?!
Dude open your mind. MMOPG with Map based on iPad with controls and full suite of action on the TV. Pull in multiple US users with ATV's and a treasure hunt would make Carmen San Diego WORTH its weight in gold when that cartoon debuted.
Fyi
this works in the current build of real racing 2. I didn't expect it to but I upgraded my atv 2 today and the iPad fully functions as a controller only and the game is formatted for HDTV's.

I don't see why it wouldn't play on a Mac. Right now Airplay gives you a choice to stream to Apple TV or a Mac. I don't see why we wouldn't have the same option here.
Wow, that lag looked pretty bad (maybe 250 ms or more) when he was playing Angry Birds. I don't see how Real Racing could improve on that, if it's really due to having to compress the video stream, send it over the wifi network, and then have the AppleTV decode it and display it. I realize people are saying they played it and it was okay, but it's hard to imagine it would be usable for action games.
If the next AppleTV has enough graphical horsepower to run the game directly and use the iPad just as a smart controller, that would seem like it would work better, but it doesn't make any sense for Apple to give the Apple TV as much processing power as the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch since it's primarily for watching movies and has a $99 price point.
