[Jamescoaster23]

OMG, look what time it is at 3:00, and it is 9/11 today, agh!!!!

[DetroitBORG]

@Jamescoaster23 LOL, it's an omen!

[ilikegreenyo]

great video

[VT808]

Nice. This thing must suck serious battery juice on the iPhone.

[DetroitBORG]

@VT808 Good point, but it's probably not too dissimilar to Pandora.

[VibrantWhite]

Wow great tutorial. I never knew about this till now. Thnx

[rednes800]

no shit dick Tracy!

[DetroitBORG]

@RevivedGuy808 Thanks, I keep waiting for the judgements on my music selections ;).

[LBWRAZ]

and the point of this is?.........

[DetroitBORG]

@LBWRAZ To show you how to use offline storage to stream music to your iDevice.

[dagamelord]

[DetroitBORG]

@dagamelord I need to up my ISP speed ;)

[Simonhp]

[earlbee31]

Awesome

[woleksy1997]

Nice video. good job

[markbyrn]

You can also share the music file from me.com as a file link and when opened, it will play in the safari browser assuming you're using a iDevice.

[DetroitBORG]

@markbyrn Good tip!

Also, what are your thoughts on the new ipod touch predictions. The same 'relable' sources that are always wrong say it will look the same as the current one but have a camera(some say front, some say back). Personally I think if it doesn't have the iphone screen and design, the camera will not be enough to make it sell well.

[DetroitBORG]

@johnmonk66 I am growing skeptical that the iPod Touch will have the Retina Display, at least on all of the iPod Touches. Supplies are constrained for the iPhone and I can't imagine adding the iPod to the mix. But I doubt they want to continue using multiple screen resolutions. I will be disappointed if the iPod Touch carries over same design, but we already know that the new display carries the same bezel design of the iPhone so I'm beginning to doubt it .

[johnmonk66]

I saw you had a movie folder, is that in the cloud? Once Apple lets me store my Itunes movies in the cloud I will consider getting it. Storing music is a waste for me, I have no more than 100 songs so they are easy just to keep on the device.

[DetroitBORG]

@johnmonk66 I don't know if you heard about a service called "Simplify" which allowed you to remotely stream photo and music files on your Mac to an iDevice. This worked amazingly well, much better than iDisk, but it was purchased by Google for Android and has moved off the iOS platform.

[mrnanovideos]

You should do a "what's on my iPhone" series!

[DetroitBORG]

@mrnanovideos Thanks for the idea, I may in the future.

[MrAppleiPad]

@mrnanovideos

such a copy of SoldierKnowsBest's idea!!!!!!!!

[mrnanovideos]

@MrAppleiPad Well, that idea has been going on ever since the release of the app store. So I wouldn't call it a total copy of SoliderKnowsBest's idea, for you don't know that he was the first person to come with it/do it.

[pixeltater]

Despite the limited functionality (track skipping and setup), this is cool and it adds some value to a MobileMe subscription.

[DetroitBORG]

@pixeltater Agreed, it's not terribly useful overall but I have used it in a few rare occasions when Syncing wasn't an option.

[MacintoshUser1986]

Hmm... I wonder why Apple didn't showcase iDisk when demonstrating multi-tasking? I hope it improves because I'm quite fond of the cloud, as one who is strictly digital download now the future of the cloud is important to me.

Good demonstration! 

[DetroitBORG]

@MacintoshUser1986 Apple definitely needs to move to offline syncing and storage, this is where they stand to loose the most ground as competitors have been doing this for a long time now. I can't believe I still need to dock my iDevices to stay synced, when my Apple TV can do it no problem. I hope they figure this out soon.
