Safari on Apple TV

[JAYGEE]

Do you think Apple will put the Safari web browser onto the TV?

That alone could count towards people buying an TV.

I don't know how you'd use it, as there is currently no way to effectively control a browser on the TV.

Maybe the rumors about the keyboard and Wii-style remote, for the TV where correct?

I hate rumors 🙁

The developer had to rename it from Safari HD to Couchsurfer (legal Reasons). Here is the developers home page : http://www.brandon-holland.com/software.html

It works brilliantly (couch surfer), I use it often. Very handy!!

Just curious what the interface is like. Arrows on the remote? How do you call up the text-input/enter an address? Click on a link?

It's the not knowing.

Any screenshots / photos to see what it all looks like?

you press > on a text box to open the keyboard panel, pressing > on a link follows that link, pressing "menu" comes out of the interactive mode.

it also supports USB keyboard/mice. you can get wireless working with some effort..

I find it a bit cumbersome...a bluetooth hack with mouse / keyboard would be great
