What about the poor app creators that already provide this functionality for basically nothing (like 5 bucks)? Apple implementing this themselves really isn't a need at this point, as what you're talking about already exists and pretty established fashion.
Orb, Stream2Me, AirVideo...all do this now and pretty darn well.
Apple's intention isn't to replace those services for everyone, but to provide extra incentive to buy from them and "reward" those people by giving them an added plus of remote streaming.
...either way, this is all just speculation. Who knows what they've really go up their sleeve.
Who knows what they are going to do, but you could certainly argue that getting new customers into the iTunes Store due to this feature is substantially more important than just getting an extra 5 bucks a month from existing customers.
Increase marketshare, increase potential for substantially more profit.
We'll see.
Oh I know, but in the end Apple wants to make more money like any corporation. So i foresee a pay-per-listen model coming, or a pay-per-month and you get to listen to as many songs as you can for that month. There's definitely gonna be a cash grab in here for Apple somewhere. I won't be signing up. :lol

It's funny, I actually hadn't even considered that this could be the shift to a "stream as much as you want" type system instead of just streaming existing purchases.Manics said:
Regardless, I want Apple to start thinking about streaming, damnit!

just as a devil's advocate POV, Apple has a history of replacing 3rd party solutions with built in features without much regard to the original utilities. mac OS X has a long history of this.
that said, no, I don't think they'll have cloud streaming for all your non-iTunes music.
i think cloud streaming of all itunes movies and tv shows would be shit hot. it's a lot tougher to find space on a portable device for 2 GB movies than 8 MB songs.

I'm with you. I'm not saying that Apple wouldn't do it, just having a bit of fun with the thought of wanting Apple to do it instead of utilizing existing solutions and how that usually rubs people.LCfiner said:
Movie streaming is my number 1 wanted feature of this, as I can currently fit all of my music on my devices...but have something like over 500GBs of iTunes purchased movies/TV shows that I have to pick and choose.

Jailbreak lets you do wonderous things.Chorazin said:I kinda hope that Apple includes a bluetooth tethering option from iPhone to iPad in OS 4, even if it's the same extra plan cost to use as the iPad 3G has.
But I know they won't, because Steve said no iPad tethering.

Couldn't they just supply a solution to setup your iPhone as a wireless hotspot?

They could. But they won't. Although it's more likely now, since Android does it. But, your phone is perfectly capable of it. I refer you to the post just above yours.

So you wanna pay for the same solution and the same battery rapage?Chorazin said:And the jailbreak solution rapes the battery.

I read a bit ago that Steve/Apple wanted it in, but it was somewhat difficult on the production end/getting a partner to supply what they want etc. Probably not in this version.enzo_gt said:Must be for iBook app or whatever its called. But seriously that screen will be awesome. What's the chance of it being OLED or AMOLED? Zero?
But man I cannot wait. Still crossing fingers for that 512 MB RAM.
And the higher resolution = easier to develop apps for both iPad and iPhone = win for consumers.

My worry with the increased pixel density and A4 processor is that some games will be impacted negatively, performance wise.
Dark10x, I think it was, already stated in another thread that some games that run on 60fps on the iPhone, do not run at such a high frame rate on the iPad.
My main reason for upgrading my iPhone is better performance in games, and if there are bottlenecks in the 4G, I may consider just upgrading to a 3GS.

you can still make "sub-HD" games for iPhone 4g, as each pixel will map exactly to be 4 pixels on the device -- as the screen is the same size, you won't be able to tell.

That's why I switched from O2 to Tesco Mobile, 12 month contracts. You pay a bit more for the phone but less per month.

No it doesn't. Do you understand what Jailbreak does?
As for Apple related news, Department of Justice is looking into expend its Apple antitrust investigation beyond the music business. I don't feel like starting a new thread so here it go.
My comment: Serve your right Steve Jobs, just for the no-nipple policy, you deserve every bit of the government interference.

Some poorly designed jailbreak apps can affect your battery negatively. The simple act of jailbreaking won't though.

What network do Tesco use these days?
I think it was Vodafone last time I checked.

Fuck! Dude, this entire time we've been talking about how I'd like an official solution for tethering to an iPhone to a wifi iPad, because an optimized solution would be much better for battery life.tino said:
Never, NEVER did i ask about a jailbroken iPad, or mention a non-jailbroken version one, being tethered to ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN AN IPHONE.
Stop reading what you want and read what I wrote.

Jailbroken iPhone user posts are like "get an iPad" posts in Kindle threads.

There's one that's a download manager for Safari which I've tested and seems to really negatively affect the battery if you have Safari open much, even when you're downloading nothing.

God, I so want an iPhone. I so want one so much. Especially with the new one. But I can't decide whether it's worth it FOR ME to change from a $15 per month "leave any time you want" prepaid plan to a what could be $80 per month "You're locked into us for two years! Muahaha!!!" plan. Fucking hell. Why do contracts exist? Why haven't people banded together to fight this outdated method yet? No one should have to be forced to stick with a plan they don't want. They should be allowed to leave whenever they want. Especially if the company sucks. Why should you be forced to be stuck with a company that sucks? That's just stupid and should be illegal!
Anyway, I digress. Since I can't fight it, I'd rather join it. But I can't justify $80~ a month. What is the cheapest AT&T plan out there with plenty of data? I'd end up paying out the ass for shit I wasn't even using. And that's just wrong.
