Video Airplay used to be only available with the Apple TV. But what if you wanted to play videos, show photos or mirror your iOS device's screen to your computer? That's exactly what AirServer (available for Mac and Windows) allows you to do, without the need of having an Apple TV. Mirroring is supported by the iPad 2 or newer and the iPhone 4s or newer.
Whether it is showing off photos that are on your iPhone on to your computer screen or giving a presentation using AirServer on your notebook computer that is connected to a projector, or just playing one of the thousands iOS games on your computer screen, AirSever will enable all of this. On top of that you can connect multiple iOS devices to one display. There is a trial you can download which allows you to try it out for 7 days and if you decide to keep it, it's available for $15.

Browse the web on your TV with an Apple TV & AirWeb
The Apple TV already allows you to view online content such as movies, video streams and music. However it doesn't allow you to browse the web like on a PC or even your tablet. Introducing AirWeb for iOS, it allows you to browse the web on your TV (through a connected Apple TV) and use your iPhone as a handy trackpad. But how is this different than mirroring your iPhone to the TV through AirPlay you ask? Well, Airweb will allow you to use your TV's full resolution as opposed to the screen resolution of your iPhone. AirWeb supports various gestures such as pinch to zoom, pan to move the cursor and pan with 2 fingers to scroll. It's price is currently reduced for the holidays at $0.99 on the AppStore.
