AirTunes is renamed to AirPlay, and adds video and photos. It's still a push setup that will also allow pushing that content off an iOS 4.1 device to the Apple TV. And yes, iTunes 10 sees my AirPort Express and Apple TV first gen as valid AirPlay ta

Here's another random question: what's the difference between the new "AirPlay" and the old tried and true "AirTunes"? So far as I can tell, both are designed to let you stream your possibly-protected music to another device. I'

Can you download Skype software from the marketplace to run on an Android phone on Verizon? The difference is only that the iPhone is an Apple product. Android phones are pretty much getting segmented into carrier products. I'd be surprised if a u

And how could Google do anything about the Skype-Verizon thing anyway ? I guess they could ban the app from the market place, but then wouldn't people be shouting at them for being closed in the same way Apple are ?

I still don't see what any of that has got to do with Android. If Dell did some deal with Skype for example they could easily ship PCs with Linux and bundle a version of Skype that for example was some wizzy version of Skype that did things other oth

While it is due to the deal between Verizon and Skype, it does show Google is pretty much asleep at the wheel when it comes to keeping their "open" platform open to the end user. Want Skype on Android? Go buy a Verizon Droid phone. And be

Glenn, I'm sure if Apple could have made the Apple TV sound as promising without local streaming, they would have. However, even its local streaming is primarily intended to stream video which you've purchased from the iTunes store. The formats s

Surely that has nothing to do with Android as such, more about some deal between Skype and Verizon ? Whose to say that if the iPhone was on Verizon that Skype wouldn't have the same issue ? Or am I missing something ?

The current IETF draft (still a work in progress disclaimer), is called Sleep Proxy Service, an extension of mDNS (aka Bonjour). Source code is here, but as far as I know, no other router has grabbed any of it. Might be able to get it to work again

Indeed, WebOS notifications are pretty slick. Android, eh, they are ok. (Just realized I never did post my final thoughts on my Android experience, I'll look to do that tonight).

FWIW, and IIRC, Wake on WiFi only works on MacBooks starting with the Unibody MacBooks. And it's apparently a hardware issue, as they've pretty much stated outright that the prior MacBooks won't get it. I don't know about desktop Macs, but those ar

Ah. Yeah. I just turn off all the push notifications. I guess what Dignan was saying was that the OS architecture should have a more graceful way of handling that sort of thing even when you enable the feature.
