It will likely stay the same. I can't see what in the Apple TV app would use WebKit since it uses the exact same controls as the rest of the Apple TV. And honestly, I hope it stays the same because I think the ATV app is so much better than the Xbox/PS3/iPad apps... It's simple, doesn't bother me by autoplaying the next episode etc.

Amusing since that's generally the biggest complaint about the AppleTV version vs. the others.

That's my complaint on Roku as well. When I'm doing housework, I like to have the TV on in the background. Having to stop every 22 minutes to play the next episode breaks my flow.
