Rumor: Apple to Bid For English Premier League Streaming Rights

Administrator — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 06:01:51 +0000

Apple is rumored to be bidding for streaming rights for the English Premier League (EPL) football matches.
The Daily Mail reports that Apple is throwing its hat in the ring for streaming TV rights for one of the world’s most popular sports: football (or soccer, if you’re American). The competition is fierce billion-pound endeavor, but would definitely give Apple some exclusive content for
.
“The three certain bidders will be Sky, who paid £1.6billion for their current packages, ESPN, who say they are determined to buy more PL content, and Middle East network Al Jezeera, who also have the resources to break the Rupert Murdoch stranglehold on the Premier League.”
Google is also rumored to be looking at bidding for streaming rights as well. Apple ‘s interest, as well as those of these other companies, is likely to help give the English Premier League a competitive market and generate billions in revenue for the league and its teams. This would be especially welcome in a time when other professional sports are seeing a decline in prices.
, analyst Shaw Wu mentioned that Apple would have to really change the programming game to make their TV attractive for potential customers. This kind of exclusive content would definitely make Apple products more popular in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, not to mention help boost
sales.
Will this make the Apple TV or the rumored Apple Television more viable at least in UK?

Apple Removes iCloud Music Streaming In iOS 5 Beta 7

Administrator — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 00:59:26 +0000

earlier in the week, there has been a lot of debate about whether iTunes in the Cloud supports music streaming as even though a video walkthrough of the feature suggested that it supported streaming, Apple insisted that
.
According to Apple , what appears to be streaming is actually a simultaneous listen and download. But we still felt that it was streaming based on how it worked, though a lot more superior than a true streaming service.
that was seeded to developers yesterday, Apple has made some changes to the iTunes in the Cloud feature, which makes it a listen and download service rather than a streaming service.
have published a video, which highlights the changes in iOS 5 beta 7:
With iOS 5 beta 7, when you play a song, it first gets downloaded to the iTunes music library on your device. Even if you skip a song, it downloads and stores the song on the iOS device. Previously, when you hit play, instead of tapping on the iCloud icon, the song didn’t get downloaded to the music library and instead seemed to get downloaded to a temporary cache on the iOS device. In fact, this is exactly how it still works on iTunes for Mac, even with iTunes 10.5 beta, which was released yesterday along with iOS 5 beta 7. Users need to explicitly click on the iCloud icon to download the song to the Mac.
If the song is downloaded to the device, it probably makes sense to download it to the music library rather than to a temporary cache, so that it doesn’t have to downloaded again if it a user wants to play it again. It remains to be seen if Apple will make more changes in future iOS 5 beta updates.

iCloud: iTunes In The Cloud Also Supports Music Streaming On iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac And PC

in the U.S. It allows users to store their entire music collection (up to 25,000 songs), including songs that they’ve ripped from CDs or purchased from anywhere else in iCloud.
Folks at InsanelyMac have created a video walkthrough of Apple ‘s new iTunes Match service, which reveals that you will not only be able to download but you can also stream music from your iTunes music library in iCloud on your
,
, iPod touch, Mac and PC. Until now, iTunes in iCloud was perceived as a download only service.
iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to your iCloud library for you to listen to anytime, on any device. Since there are more than 18 million songs in the iTunes Store, most of your music is probably already in iCloud. All you have to upload is what iTunes can’t match. Which is much faster than starting from scratch. And all the music iTunes matches plays back at 256-Kbps iTunes Plus quality — even if your original copy was of lower quality.
So with the iTunes Match service, the process of uploading your GBs of iTunes music library to iCloud is a lot quicker, which can take days, if not weeks in case of competing services like

Even though iTunes costs $24.99 per year, we feel its worth it and one of the killer features of iCloud. We wonder if this increases the possibility of Apple launching a

CNN App For iPhone and iPad Gets Updated; Adds Live Streaming For Select Cable TV Subscribers

have been updated to version number 1.2 and 1.1 respectively. The updated apps bring live streaming of CNN TV to iPad and iPhone .
The cable channel claims to be the first news organisation to stream its content on the web and mobile devices.
The feature, although free, isn’t available to everyone. Only subscribers of a select few cable operators in the United States can access the live stream. The initial list of cable operators CNN has partnered with include AT&T, Comcast, Cox, DISH Network, Suddenlink and Verizon. Time Warner Cable, a major cable provider in the US doesn’t feature on the list.
The app uses the login credentials of your cable TV account to authenticate and deliver the live stream. The live stream would be available for two channels, CNN and Headline News (HLN). Streaming works over Wi-Fi as well as 3G networks on devices with
and up. The update also squashes bugs and improves stability.
Along with iOS apps, CNN has also made the live stream available to the same select subscribers over the web. An interesting thing to note is that CNN didn’t introduce a streaming only subscription plan, but chose to take the free path with a catch.
CNN is the latest to join the league of apps like Hulu and Netflix that make your iOS devices an effective second television screen, the irony being that you would need a cable TV subscription.
