Eventually you will have your iPod and be able to stream your iTunes library from your computer anywhere you want. You could have your iPod at the coffee shop down the street, and you would be streaming your music from your computer 3 miles away in your apartment. You could be on a roadtrip in California, 2,000 miles away, and streaming your iTunes library from your apartment onto your iPod.
Verizon (and someone else I think?) already have wireless broadband networks. Forget about getting a iPod with a 200 GB harddrive. You won't need it. You will just stream your music and videos ANYWHERE to your iPod. The future of the iPod is without a hardddrive. All the iPod will be in the future is an antenna and a screen, receiving a hi-speed stream of all your music and media files.
Not to brag or w/e, but that is exactly what i said under my post under the Copyrighting "Mobile Me" thread. Sounds like I wasn't i might not be so far off.. I only pictured an iTrip-sized adapter.Gherkin said:DO YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS?

the rumor circuits can go wild with this one...here's my crazy idea. Okay so Mobile Me is a service by Apple working in conjunction but not partnered with .Mac that allows the user to upload songs and broadcast them wirelessly to users that receive it via a small adapter on iPods (like iTrip) and on computers via internet connection, and iTunes enabled phones without any other adapters, only needing an email address and password (iTunes account perhaps?).
That would be really neat, allowing people to have access to their music or i guess any file really, wirelessly, like a cell phone. It's a thought at least.

Some questions: Is this apples attack against the mobile phone companies and their music download models (probably the only competitors to apple monopoly)? Could the wifi ipod become the "media center" also for the livingroom at home?
aswitcher said:The iPod becoming a wireless controller/broadcaster for your iTunes library is going to be great. Apple IR controllers dont cut it. I want a screen - and why not make it the iPods screen.
arn said:? I don't understand that.
This would be being able to wirelessly stream on-demand any song out there. A monthly fee would be the most likely model.
