Engadget has published a video demonstrating Real Racing 2 HD’s support for Apples new AirPlay mirroring feature which will be coming in iOS 5 in fall.

Apple Patent Reveals Potential ‘Find My iPhone’ Improvements
Apple has filed a patent application listing some new security features that are most likely going to be making their way into their ‘Find My iPhone’ service. There are some great new additions, though others are slightly more dubious as to their effectiveness. The new features include:
- The ability to let users selectively protect files on a handset instead of locking the entire phone.
- A scrambling feature to prohibit access to sensitive data without having to remote wipe. Unscrambling would be available when the handset is retrieved.
- A remote recording feature that uses the mic on the iPhone capture the voice of the thief and his or her surroundings. (Dubious)
- Remote messaging feature that would warn the thief of any recording or location tracking activity. (Dubious)
- An enterprise-friendly feature that prohibits access to sensitive functions or apps on the missing handset.
Obviously this is a Patent filling and is, therefore, not a future product roadmap. There are some great ideas in this filing. Here is hoping they make it into the service.
