A new cydia tweak has just been released to enable pictures and video shot on your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch to be streamed directly to your Apple TV without needing to be synced with iTunes first. The tweak, found at the BigBoss repository, is called 'Air Home Video' and costs $0.99.

When combined with AirVideoEnabler (another tweak available on Cydia) airplay can now stream almost all video and photos viewable on iOS devices.


This functionality is predicted to be available to non-jailbreakers with iOS 4.3 update coming out early next year.


iPhone 3g users, left out of Airplay in 4.2.1, still have no way of enabling it.
