These new capabilities are broken down into three groups:
• Streaming music and movies from Apple’s servers to your computers, devices, etc.
• Streaming music and movies from your home computers to your other computers, remote devices, etc.
• Wireless iTunes syncing with devices

sounds good to me.
As long as you don’t use an iPhone 4 held in your hand.
But, “relax.” Just keep paying us the monthly iTunes subscription fee like you keeping paying AT&T for dropped call after dropped call. Suckers! – Steve
Apple bought the farm…
The words “rumor” and “definitely” within the same sentence.
Johnny’s response above shows what happens when Apple PR fails to get a handle on an issue and when the tone deaf CEO starts emailing customers.
This could quickly get much worse and tarnish everything Apple does.
Assuming we can get reception on our iPhone 4’s or perhaps we should just follow Steve’s advice and retire, get a grip after all “it’s just a phone” I think Mr Jobs might need to get a grip.
I hope this is true becasue I actually liked Rhapsody–I could listen to any song at any time–no ripping, syncing–but $15mo to a non-mac based/friendly UI…uh uh. To Apple…probably.
And with the demise of SimplifyMusic I can no longer stream my iTunes library to my iPhone–my data usage has decreased significantly, but it nice to be able to do that–and it worked.
When all you trolls get tired of posting your shit via your Kin, iPhone 4 will still be the best smart phone, and you will still be lame losers.
can you say “subscription”?
Cloud computing is just another way for companies to rope you into paying a monthly fee for something you previously didn’t have to pay for.
Color me sick of the subscription business model.
Definitely maybe soon!
If it is so, then this would support recent rumors of an iOS based, small-footprint AppleTV device.
All you morons need to chill out and “relax” just like Steve said to. I believe that he meant that Apple is working on it and in the mean time people just need to relax a little. People are so impatient. Maybe Apple is taking some time to come up with a good permanent fix and not just a bandaid fix that other companies would do just to shut people up.
jltnol:
Why color when we can erase ?
I keep tellin’ ya, whaddya think that big ol’ server farm down ‘ere in Nawth C’lina is for????
I emailed SJ about the Death grip issue.
10 minutes later the doorbell rang and I opened the door. Steve jobs slapped me and got in his car and drove off. Weird huh?
S.J. is partially correct in stating “…it’s just a phone.” More accurately, it’s just a radio, and as such it is prone to all of the normal issues that any radio would have.
On AT&T;’s end, it is the only US carrier that is capable of receiving voice and data simultaneously. In addition, AT&T;is striving to double the number of T1 lines to each cell site. In some cases, a particular site could have over 20 T1 lines. This could give every iPhone the equivalent of having its own gigabit ethernet line.
Until another carrier can reach these speeds with the same capacity, I expect Apple to stay with AT&T;, and until we can devise a better way than electromagnetic transmissions such as Star Trek’s “Sub-space communications”…
…it’s just another damn radio.
Chill!!
If the streaming from your computer to your other devices works as well as streaming from iTunes to AppleTV IT”S GONNA SUCK!
Well said SG
webstyr… streaming works fine here, have you checked your local area with a little app called “istumbler” ?
It checks for other wireless networks near you sharing the same channel and allows you to see what channel isn’t being used. Then you use Airport Utility to change the channel your broadcasting on, that is, if you have an airport.
If you’re using another wireless device, then you gotta figure it out on your own.
BTW… streaming video and audio from itunes works flawlessly here, as long as I stay ahead of the neighbors who go out and buy a new wireless box about every month instead of just selecting an open channel.
@webstyr,
On the contrary, if it works as well as streaming from my ATV to powerbook, its going to ROCK!. My setup works great from the computer, and when streaming directly from the internet I have NEVER had any issue with quality or delays. I can start watching movies almost instantly on my ATV as well as my MacMini. As far as I am concerned, I already have this capability.
@Webster:
My experience has been the opposite, no matter how my stand holds it. Maybe your Apple tv has a reception issue.
That, and it probably frustrates them because I always select “use interference robustness” in the Airport Utility
I don’t believe that last quote attributed to Jobs is authentic. Regardless of Steve’s reputation for not suffering fools lightly, I just don’t hear him uttering the words, “it’s just a phone” in reference to an iPhone. That would not happen in a million years. That story is bogus.
But I do agree that Apple has failed to get in front of this story. Their competitors are having a field day with this, and the mud they are slinging is sticking. Even I have decided to hold off my iPhone 4 purchase until the reception/proximity switch questions are clearly answered.
Apple: the information vacuum you are allowing to grow is being filled by those that want to see you taken down a notch or two.
Maybe these services will roll into the paid version of MobileMe and the rumored free version of MobileMe will be as it currently is?
@Spark,
Well, if you read that emailer’s crazed ranting, SJ’s response is pretty understandable. Maybe Apple should encourage infantile customers to buy from someone else–life’s just to short! (Besides, from a business standpoint, those customers are usually more trouble than they’re worth.)
P.S. Of course, Apple should continue to look into the issue as quickly as possible–just not encourage the loons.
