Airplay for All?

Apple's helped increase the value of it's various pieces of hardware (iPhone, iPad, AppleTV) through the development of their new "video-tossing" technology - AirPlay.  Folks with an AppleTV connected to their TV set will have the ability to "toss" video you're watching on your mobile device to your big-screen TV.

Robert Scoble suggested that this feature, when combined with 3 new apps, has the potential to change viewing habits.  Mentioned apps were: TED iPad app (TED lets leading experts talk about new ideas), Squrl (video aggregator), and ShowYou.(social media video sharing app).
