First Ever Apple TV Jailbreak App Is A Weather Widget!

Apple TV, which can be jailbroken using PwnageTool or greenpois0n, has just gotten its first ever jailbreak app: a weather widget, developed by nitoTV.
While the application itself might not sound particularly exciting, it does prove that Apple TV can run jailbreak apps. We're expecting Weather Manager (as the widget is called), to be the first of a great many Apple TV applications.
Unfortunately, nitoTV hasn't exactly been vocal regarding the process of writing their application (the news was released to Twitter in a single photo, which you can see above). So we're not exactly sure yet just how tough it is developing for Apple TV. But, like I said, it can be done.
Hopefully we'll see more Apple TV applications in the coming days. If you're a developer, and you've managed to write something for your jailbroken set top box, get in touch and let us know! We'd love to hear from you. And, thanks to Cult of Mac for spotting this one.
