Just received word that TWC (Time Warner Cable) is killing off the FanTV device for IPTV by Nov 30th but they have an app for xbox, roku, ios, and android which makes me wonder if they're planning to launch the app for the new AppleTV.
 
Pangea announced they will be releasing Nanosaur 2, Bugdom 2, Airwings, and possibly one more that I'm maybe missing, for the new Apple TV. :)
 
Amazon stopped selling Apple TV's. I don't see Apple allowing Amazon Prime on the Apple TV.
When they have an Amazon Prime App on the App store for iPhone/iPad, porting it to Apple TV shouldn't be a problem... Lets see how the dynamics work in the coming weeks!

I'm surprised their hasn't been more talk about TWC and Charter apps. Seem like big deals but uncertain given Apple's impending OTT service. I loathe my TWC box and its molasses interface, and hope we get an app.
 
I have an app under review but it's been in review for 2 days... iOS apps usually take a week so I dunno how long to expect mine.
 
Looks like Alto's Adventure (side-scrolling skiiing game) will have an AppleTV version. Just saw an update on my iPhone that they added iCloud syncing to ensure progress is synced to Alto's Adventure for Apple TV".

They also added MFI Controller support.
 
PlayStation Vue! I'll give my left everything for PlayStation Vue on Apple TV.

I feel the same way. TWC's Roku app is actually really nice, particularly the on-demand portion. However as it stands I can't use it as my primary box because it is missing a few channels I subscribe to, has no local channels (read: no networks such as ABC, NBC, Fox, etc.), and I only get the west coast feeds.
