MobileMe Streaming Data From Individual Machines Instead Of Cloud
Jim Dalrymple of The Loop gave his two cents on the speculated MobileMe remodeling. He states that Apple may have different plans on how content is streamed to devices. He informs that instead of the typical cloud computing method, in which Apple would host all of the end user’s data on their servers and sends it on demand, MobileMe will serves as their driver behind the operation and use the user’s own machine fro hosting.
“Is Apple going to give us all 100GB of cloud storage to host our music, backups and sync data? That seems a bit much to me. Here’s what I think will happen with Apple’s new MobileMe service.
Instead of trying to provide everyone with cloud storage, I believe Apple will use MobileMe as the brain of the cloud service. The actual storage will be on our individual machines. In effect, in the cloud.”
The article continues in stating that this method will allow for the typically expected audio and video capabilities. In addition, it will also allow files and documents on demand as well as syncing that will be reflected on all machines. The software becoming free of charge may not all come to light, as some features may render free in the future, but for premium services, their will be a subscription fee assessed.
We, along with many other groups, have some inquiries about how this method would be applied and how effective it would be seeing that some user’s have computers that are not always connected to the Internet. Apple is definitely cooking up something that will greatly help the masses wield all the growing information wirelessly to their connected devices.
This is ridiculous. Apple will not host our itunes purchases.They already have all of the media on there servers. All they need to do is add an ACL for each of us so we can either stream or download. As far as our other media is concerned, we would need to pay for the appropriate amount of storage space.if we don’t need to store anything of our own then maybe MM really will be free.
