Apple iTunes in the cloud definitely happening soon, wireless syncing!
01/07/10 16:59 Filed in: Daily New
One of our reliable Apple sources has just filled us in on some of the company’s iTunes plans, and they’re exciting. We have been told iTunes will be getting a huge cloud capability that many people have been asking for (and logically thought would happen sooner or later). These new capabilities are broken down into three groups:
- Streaming music and movies from Apple’s servers to your computers, devices, etc.
- Streaming music and movies from your home computers to your other computers, remote devices, etc.
- Wireless iTunes syncing with devices
For wireless syncing, we are told it will work pretty seamlessly. Any apps you buy for instance on your iPhone will immediately sync to your computer, changes to your calendar, or notes, or contacts will also automatically update on your computer as well. What good would all these new features be without some new devices? Apple’s traditional fall event (or maybe even before it) should bring at least “two new devices with camera/camcorder capabilities.” Well, there you have it!

Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. mobile-phone company, will start selling Apple Inc.’s iPhone next year, ending AT&T Inc.’s exclusive hold on the smartphone in the U.S., two people familiar with the plans said.
Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. mobile-phone company, will start selling Apple Inc.’s iPhone next year, ending AT&T Inc.’s exclusive hold on the smartphone in the U.S., two people familiar with the plans said. The device will be available to customers in January, according to the people, who declined to be named because the information isn’t public. Natalie Kerris, an Apple spokeswoman, and Jeffrey Nelson, a Verizon Wireless spokesman, declined to comment.
Verizon iPhone Could Add 12 Million More iPhone User
We have been hearing rumors for quite some time that Apple [AAPL]would be bringing the iPhone to the Verizon Wireless network, and have even heard rumors this week that it may be coming in January, although I think we can take that rumor with a pinch of salt.
According to analyst Yair Reiner from Oppenheimer, a Verizon iPhone could have a serious impact on both Apple and Google, as he estimates that around 12 million Verizon users would switch to an iPhone.
This would have a huge effect on Apple’s revenue and could boost it by as much as $7 billion, but also it could have an impact on Google Android devices which customers have been buying on Verizon rather than switching to AT&T for the iPhone.
This could tie in with the fact that AT&T allowed customers to upgrade to the iPhone 4, thus locking them in to an AT&T contract, and they then wouldn’t easily be able to move to Verizon.
If Apple are smart then they will definitely launch the iPhone on the Verizon network, and they should also launch it on other networks in the US like the have done in the UK.
No doubt we will be hearing more and more Verizon iPhone rumors over the next couple of months, until we get something official from Apple and Verizon.
