New Apple TV is based on iOS and can be Jailbroken

Remember the iProd 2,1 reference that was found while testing iOS on iPad? We told you that it may be a next generation iPad with FaceTime or a new CDMA, but a new report brings new possibilities of this string. According to TUAW, it was a new iOS Based Apple TV. The key below was found while exploring iOS 4.2 beta that was released two days ago.

Of course, this $99.99 box may be a new jailbreak target, but to do what? to run apps on a limited storage? or will it do far greater things? [TUAW, via Engadget]
