After creating the very first AirPlay-enabled third party app, Erica Sadun isn't resting on her laurels. Instead, she has already gotten in touch with the developers of the great AirVideo app. Now, she has managed to have them add her AirPlay-enabling hacks to their app.
The big question surrounding the arrival of AirPlay is without a doubt: What will developers be able to do with it?

We've already speculated that Apple might be using AirPlay to bring all the content they ever wanted to the Apple TV, instead of having to use apps. We found out that the YouTube app can stream to AirPlay, and 9to5mac pointed out that Netflix can do so as well.
