Apple Sneaks in Music Streaming from iDisk on the iPhone

 

One of the most requested features of the iPhone is music streaming, and it seams that Apple has giving it  to us. Well, that is you have MobileMe, as Apple has just updated iDisk for the ability to play music files from the your computer in the background. This basically means that you can stream any music files that you have in your iDisk folder and play them over the air while it being in the background. The update for iDisk is available on the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad and you can stream music to multiple devices at the same time.

The iPhone Antenna Song

This guy got featured in today's Apple press conference with his new video that he just uploaded today. This guy has some serious talent, that Steve Jobs said he just had to show it off at the conference. So when can I get this on iTunes?

iTunes in the cloud soon!

 

When Apple bought Lala, everybody thought that iTunes in the cloud was just around the corner, and now this rumour has new light, well acording to BGR's "reliable Apple sources."  So what BGR's sources are saying it that iTunes will have these 3 things:

1. Streaming music and movies from Apple’s servers to your computers, devices, etc.
2. Streaming music and movies from your home computers to your other computers, remote devices, etc.
3. Wireless iTunes syncing with devices

The first one is relatively simple to understand. It would stream iTunes content which you have bought over the internet to your iDevice, thus eliminating the need for a lot of local storage. Secondly, Apple will apparently let you stream your own content over your WiFi network to any of your own computers and devices. And last but not least, wireless syncing of for your iDevices.

Wireless syncing,  apparently works seamlessly and it will work much like the WiFi Sync app that got rejected from the app store and is now in the Cydia store. So any apps you buy for instance on your iPhone will immediately sync to your computer, changes to your calendar, or notes, or contacts will also automatically update on your computer as well. 

So all sounds great but when will we see it? I'd put my money on it coming in iTunes 10 when it gets announced alongside the new iPods in September.

Music Video Shot Entirely on iPhone 4!

A Indy-rock band called “Doctor Pants” used an iPhone 4 as their sole camera to shoot a entire full-length music video. According to their blog at DoctorPants.com, they it took only 48 hours to complete as they started putting it together on June, 29th and finished it the very next day.

In this video you can really see what the new camera and 720p capture capabilities of the iPhone 4 are. It is shot indoors as well as outdoors, and captures both still and fast moving objects brilliantly.

Apple Kills Lala

On May 31st, Apple shut down the servers for the music streaming site Lala, which Apple bought about 5 months ago. Now if you use Lala, you must be wondering what will happen to all the money you have spent on the service. Well, you will get an iTunes Store credit code sent to you by e-mail and Apple says that it will round refunds under $10 up to the nearest $1 and refunds of more than $10 to the nearest $5.

However the question on everybody's lips is: What will replace Lala?

Well, Apple didn't just spent $80 million just to shut it down. So many people are speculating if Apple is going to release a streaming service of it's own? The Wall Street Journal was told by “people familiar with the matter” that Apple will launch its own version of Lala’s music streaming service. If the WSJ’s sources are correct, you’ll be able to upload your iTunes library to Apple’s servers so you can listen to them on other computers or a devices like an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, but as long as you have Internet access.

But when will this come? Many are saying that it will be announced at WWDC in light of it being shut down a week before the keynote. So I guess we will all have to wait until June 7th to find out.
