Does anyone know if the AirPlay function in iOS 4.2 will allow you to stream from your iPad/Pod/Phone to a friends AppleTV?
Yes it will, but currently in the betas we only get audio, no video, and so far the audio is a few seconds behind (its not in sync with whats on my iPad, but hopefully this will get fixed). Last night I was playing Real Racing and Tap Tap Radiation on my iPad and I had the Audio streaming out of my Home Theatre system, it was awesome.
I think this is the main point for AirPlay. The ability to visit a Family/Friends house (or vise versa) and share what is on your iDevice with everyone else and not have to huddle over a 3.5-9.7" screen.
i have a question. when i use my remote app i am able to air play to all my locations using airport express and t my new and old applt tv's.. but from the new apple tv on screen menu i do not see those other airport express locations. i go to airplay and it just asks on or off. i thought i would be able to see my other locations. i think my old apple tv did that.
ugh, i can't wait for this!
I think we may need another Apple TV... (or 2).

My guess would be that as the new AppleTV only streams from something else, it wouldn't make sense for it to be able to stream what it's streaming to another set of speakers - you'd do that from the iTunes/Remote App you're using to control the Apple TV.
The old AppleTV had a hard disk with it's own content, so it would make sense that it could stream the music to another set of speakers.
