Wireless Airplay mirroring and split screen video demo

Back in April I wrote a tongue-in-cheek post in which I said I’d “just played with Apples new games console” after plugging the iPad 2 into an HDTV via HDMI and playing Real Racing 2 in split screen mode.

Following on from that I described in another post how this split screen feature didn’t have to be limited to games and any application could implement the feature such as iMovie or the iWork suite.

Well, with iOS5 it’s all got very interesting because along with a new OS update for AppleTV, you can now mirror the iPad 2 screen to Apple TV wirelesslyand what’s more you can use split screen too.

iOS developer @bendodson has written an excellent blog post in which he talks about wireless AirPlay and even demos it and he’s written his own mapping application to show split screen working without wires.

Very nice!
