Other than a handful of stereo receivers and standalone speakers, there aren't many AirPlay-compatible accessories on the market. Manufacturers haven't really adopted Apple's wireless technology like the company had hoped it would.
So it's no surprise that Macotakara, a Japanese blog known for leaking Apple information, is reporting that the company is looking to rethink wireless connectivity in iOS. The company is now apparently showing a deep interest in Bluetooth.
It appears Apple's Mac OS X team is working on integrating two of iOS's biggest features into Mac OS X, with iMessage and AirPlay mirroring apparently in the pipeline.
According to 9to5Mac's sources, the Mac OS X team at Apple is currently working on ways to make both technologies part of a future Lion update, though there are no guarantee that the features will ever see the light of day.
iMessage in particular has been long rumored to be the replacement for iChat we've been waiting for, but AirPlay mirroring could potentially change the way presentations are given using a Mac...

While the iPhone 4S is still an amazing piece of hardware, it was clear that software was the star of yesterday's show. But among the new Cards app and Find My Friends, one software feature was grossly overlooked: AirPlay Mirroring...
The Loop points to some interesting findings in a recent report by Interpret, a marketing research firm. The work explores the iPad's popularity among both traditional and non-traditional gamers in the United States.
We've known for awhile now that Apple's iOS platform was making the gaming industry nervous, but I don't think we knew how much. Interpret is reporting that the iPad's gaming base has grown to over 8 million in the US alone...
iPhone and iPod docking station/speaker combos are nothing new – they've been around forever and come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, with models to fit every budget. iHome has taken the tried and tested formula that we've all been using for so long, and added AirPlay to the mix to create the iHome iW1: an AirPlay-equipped wireless audio system.
Set to go on sale on September 26th, the iHome iW1 will retail for $300, according to Engadget...
AirPlay has traveled a rocky road over the last year or so. It just doesn't seem to be garnering much support from third party developers (hardware and software). But that may all change with iOS 5's new Mirroring feature.
We told you about the iPad 2's mirroring capability back in June, but the feature seems to have greatly matured since then. Apple'n'Apps posted another video showing off the new iOS 5 option, and trust me, it looks awesome...

Back when Apple first announced AirPlay, we all got so excited about being able to throw audio and video from our various iDevices right onto a television or audio system using an Apple TV.
The problem is, not all apps support the technology, which is a crying shame indeed. Thankfully, there is one way to get around most iOS apps' lack of implementation and force these apps to use AirPlay...
Apple has come up with some remarkable technology over the last few years, AirPlay and FaceTime to name a few. AirPlay allows users to sling media from their iDevices to the big screen via an Apple TV, and FaceTime enables one-tap video calling.
What would happen if you combined the two technologies? According to TiPb, you would get a unique video chatting experience that can be shared by everyone in the room. Meet the latest iOS 5 feature to surface, FaceTime via AirPlay mirroring...
The Apple TV has always had one glaring downfall: there's no bluetooth support. Up until now you had to jailbreak the Apple TV to obtain this feature, but it looks like that could change this Fall.
9to5Mac is reporting that iOS 5 contains hidden code (above) that enables bluetooth in the Apple TV2. While the new function is more than likely for connecting bluetooth keyboards, it does suggest that Apple could have bigger things in store for their TV set-top box...
In an attempt to get even more iPhone 4s shipped out the door before the supposed iPhone 5/4S release later this year, Apple has released two new ads, showing off two of the handset's marquee features.
