I still don't get why Lion doesn't have the ability to have its screen mirrorred to an Apple TV through Airplay. Would be great.
Got a tip for us?

Why is there no screen-mirroring in Lion through Airplay?

I completely agree. I want to see apple tv's connected to flat screen tv's in meeting rooms with the ability to wirelessly project my MacBook screen to the tv via AirPlay screen sharing. This would just be one more reason for corporates to move from wintel to Mac.

I'm still trying to figure out why they havent implemented OS X YouTube Airplay yet.
Airplay on iOS is neat but it sucks because for some reason the iPad can't multitask when airplaying video. So it would be nice to do youtube airplay from a laptop, but so far its not a (built in) option.

if you believe the rumors about the next generation of AppleTV software supporting bluetooth keyboards, you might JUST get your wish sooner than later 🙂
That would be an AWESOME feature!

Yes I am looking forward to airplay through lion. Corporates can start buying apple tvs for £99 each instead of rather more expensive and cumbersome projectors. This is of course providing that they dont want to connect Windows PC's to Apple TV (Ahh bit of an issue there)
But you can screen share and see and work with another Mac over the Internet so AirPlay should work okay.

Yes you are quite right. Should have added that they could have a sleek flat panel display with the apple tv.
