Apple has filed a patent application for a technology that would allow iPhones to stream media that is stored on the owner's PC via a wireless network. Apple's patent application is for a piece of software that would store only what is known as a song's 'metadata' - the bare bones of the song file - on the iPhone. When the owner pressed play on a track, the device would - via wi-fi or the phone network - command the owner's PC to stream the full track. As described on a patent application: "A personal computer can be turned on and connected to the internet to enable a portable device to access the media items stored on the personal computer." -- amcluesent ------------------------------------------------------------------------ amcluesent's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50994 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
