Read moreHave an iPad and frustrated by its inability to play certain files? Well so was our friend Damian who loves all sorts of video filetypes, so he jailbroke his wife’s iPad (now that’s love, huh) and threw XBMC on it.

We all know the numbers for AppleTV are low, and I don’t think there are that many Mac users connected to their HDTVs…so that basically leaves the iPhone. Go figure.
