Early on, Microsoft had not included any iOS apps on the App Store. This meant that we all had to use 3rd party apps in order to edit Microsoft Word, Excel, or Powerpoint files.

FullBlast – Stream music from your iPhone, iPad (mini) and iPod Touch I’ve been a long time Playstation 3 owner, and while there are many similar features between the PS3 and the Apple TV, I just haven’t been able to bring myself to purchasing an Apple TV… yet.
