Apple Enables Music Streaming To iOS Devices From iDisk

on 08/05/2010, filed in Home > Apple

While Apple’s rumored cloud-based iTunes service hasn’t surfaced yet, something similar has been released by the fruity company. The iDisk app has been updated, and it now allows its devices to stream music to iOS devices from the online storage of iDisk. The updated version of iDisk supports background music streaming and public file sharing among multiple devices simultaneously. There are still some pretty obvious limitations, such as the lack of playlist support, and the fact that 20GB might not be enough to support your entire music library. You’ll need a MobileMe subscription in order to enjoy this, so if you’ve already got said subscription and an iOS device, why not give it a test drive?

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

iOS: was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
