Apple Making AirPlay Open to Developers?

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Airplay is most likely the most exciting iOS feature since multitasking. It has huge potential, and we’re still waiting to see what Apple will do with it, they already leaked a couple of details this week that will lead you to think good about it.

Apple told Fox News during a review of Apple TV that, they will open the feature to developers. They will definitely let apps stream audio and video over the air, which is awesome. Will Apple take it even further and allow apps to stream to an external monitor of sorts? We don’t know right now, but it sure is interesting.

Big apps like Hulu or Netflix restricting the use of the feature can’t be underestimated. This is uncharted territory when it comes to licensing deals, so it might not even be up to the developers.

So what do you think Apple will do? Let us know in the comments below.

As mentioned at WWDC 2010, Netflix said they would release their iPhone app this summer and everyone kind of forgot about it and they only had it on the iPad. Well today they released an app for the iPhone.

The application works great and the quality is excellent (over WiFi). Here’s a great video that SoldierKnowsBest made regarding Netflix for iPhone:

[UPDATE] Apple to Acquire Lala

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,

Within the past week or so, rumors have been spreading about Apple purchasing Lala, a website where you can instantly stream music for free as well as purchase.

No ads, no subscriptions — just an incredible catalog of music to explore. Listen to any song or album once for free. Music from major labels and indie labels, all legally licensed. New albums on the day of release, and hidden gems from an artist’s early works.

This could possibly lead Apple into a new direction with iTunes. They could now possibly sell music at a cheaper price as well as allow you to listen to full songs instead of giving you a short thirty second preview. If you would like to read more about this topic, feel free to go to The New York Times website to read the full article. Also, if you would like to learn more about Lala, go ahead and visit them at lala.com

UPDATE: Apple has suposedly purchased Lala for $80 million which isn’t bad considering Lala wasn’t all that big of a company.

UPDATE: Reports are now spreading from TechCrunch that Apple purchased Lala for a mere $17 million. Assuming Lala’s reported cash reserve of $14 million is correct, the company would have only gained $3 million.
