Desktop Airplay mirroring = hulu (and avi, mkv, etc) on apple TV without having to jailbreak and install XBMC and the hulu add-on!

To soon be able to stream/AirPlay one's computer desktop to one's TV is going to be a sweet interaction indeed! This will get around some of the video incompatibilities encountered with the iDevices, such as the iPad.
(My wife likes to watch missed TV show posted on a TV's website, but some networks still post video in the 'archaic' Flash format!).
And no need to convert non-iTunes compatible video formats such as DivX and MKV into the AppleTV readable version - simply mirror directly from the computer.
Great stuff.
Very happy!! ;)

I'm digging everything except the fat tabs in Safari.
I hate it on the iPad and I definitely hate it here.

All of these features could easily be added in a Lion update, this reeks of annualizing OS releases. Adding a few things to Safari, Dashboard and System Preferences are not worth an upgrade.

I'm definitely gonna buy a Macbook Air this summer so that I can use this AirPlay feature. That along with being able to use AirDrop with my iMac is gonna present a lot of great oppurtunities.
