Comments on: Sling, Apple: Streaming music to iPhone?

Unclear what Mr. Jobs thinks of it

forget itunes content...

the theory of streaming content from an Apple TV is kind of stupid. I have a
Mac, and Apple TV and a Slingbox. I am going to get an iPhone, one of the main
features of the iPhone is an iPod. Why would you want to stream your music
from an Apple TV on your iPhone. It would be lower quality music and video
than if you were just to sync the videos and music to yyour iPhone. However, I
do see reason to stream TV... though the iPhone runs off edge, so i dont know
how this would work... you need at least 250 kbps to stream your Slingbox at
decent quality. EDGE is more like 230 at the most, (i think, i dont have cingular
yet)

Hello, i means unlimited storage!

If this happened I could have my ENTIRE music collection available on my iPhone
That would be a good thing.
Lower quality? Yes, and so this is probably a better down-the-road option for
when iPhone has 3G and beyond, but I still think it's a great idea.
Acutally, I stand by the though I had last year that Apple should buy Sling Media.

But no 3G......

Maybe this would be nice IF the phone had 3G. Video on EDGE is choppy, frustrating, and not worth watching...
