New Apple TV's iOS can be jailbroken and made to run apps?



Remember the mysterious reference to iProd 2,1 that appeared in the iPad's code?
We thought it might be a new CDMA or camera-equipped iPad, but it just might have been the new iOS-based Apple TV instead.
Diving through the iOS 4.2 beta, a TUAW tipster allegedly uncovered the above key, which hints that we might have been right about the device's app potential all along.

While you wait with bated breath for confirmation of this wondrous possibility, why not check out our Apple TV hands-on?
