AirPlay for Safari and Third-Party Apps in 2011?
Posted by Michael Knutson in "Apple Software (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad)" @ 01:30 AM
"MacRumors is reporting that one of their readers emailed Steve Jobs to ask if Apple was ever going to enable AirPlay to stream videos from third-party apps or those embedded in a web page in Safari. Jobs answered: "Yep, hope to add these features to Airplay in 2011.""
It seems that 2011 could be a breakout year for AirPlay, what with APIs scheduled to be released to developers. Will the flood gates open? With jailbreakers already having the capability of activating AirPlay for other devices, Apple can't be far behind. The ability to play/stream (almost) any content anywhere is a goal that seems reachable. I particularly like the idea of being able to stream music to my car's audio system.
