Until now, the biggest limitation for this to springboard (which is responsible for the graphical interface of IOS) on the 2nd generation Apple TV was missing, but Nick has springboard himself re-written specifically for the 2nd generation Apple TV. As the second generation Apple TV can not have a touchscreen will control the applications yet to encounter constraints, but using the remote control, via an iPhone, iPod touch or iPhone via console or controllers with Bluetooth support are in theory the opportunities to remove these limitations.
The primary purpose of the hack is , according to Troughton-Smith Apple to force the short term with an application platform for the Apple TV, as in the 2007-2008 period also happened with the introduction of the App Store, after additional applications initially only through a jailbreak were installed. The hack also opens the door for full screen applications in Cydia specifically with the second generation Apple TV in mind developed. It is not known when the hack to the general public can be made available.
