Apple Thoughts: HP MediaSmart Streams Video to iPhones Now

"HP's MediaSmart Server just got smarter. Thanks to a free software update, the Windows Home Server-running PC automatically converts video files for easy playback on an iPhone. HP also unveiled iStream, a free dedicated iPhone app, available on the iTunes App Store later this month, that can access your server from far afield, playing back those converted videos, photos and music files. If you have fairly fast broadband uploading, that video on the iPod might actually look pretty good."

I've always had the feeling that Windows Home Server was one of the coolest products Microsoft ever came up with. From its core functionality to the ability of developers to make plugins for it to extend its functionality, it's one of the neatest products I think they're kicking out right now. I'm actually surprised it hasn't caught on more, honestly.
