People from the Technical University of Serres developed an application called AirMediaPlayer, which is initially a project that allows users to stream different media content on their iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Windows PC. However, Erica Sadun from TUAW has already developed a similar application called AirPlayer that allows users to stream media content on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Mac.

The latest version of iOS is iOS 4.2.1 enables users to stream and watch videos as well as other digital media content from any iDevice to a television. This is probably one of the coolest features of the new iOS; however, the AirPlay functionality was limited to users with Apple TV. This means that unless you own an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch and an Apple TV 2G, you will not be able to enjoy the service.

The AirPlayer for Mac and AirMediaPlayer for Windows removed such restriction and allows to stream media content to their Mac or Windows computer. With AirPlayer and AirMediaPlayer, you no longer have to jailbreak your iDevice.

In order for you to stream media content to your Windows computer, you need to follow and remember these things:

  • It only works on Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
  • You have to download and install #
  • .NET framework runtimes and associated files (.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or later) for AirMediaPlayer to work. You can download it from Microsoft’s website.
  • Bonjour for Windows (note it comes bundled with iTunes, so you don’t need it if iTunes is already installed else you can download Bonjour Print Services for Windows).
  • iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1.
  • Download AirMediaPlayer (the developers seem to have pulled the link to the download, we have found this link or this one but please proceed with caution and at your own risk).

Once everything is installed, you will be able to stream different digital media content from any of your iDevice to your Windows PC.

Posted by unlocker under News on Thursday Dec 23, 2010

Google proudly released a newer version of Google Voice App for iPod Touch and iPad and includes some significant improvements that add beauty and function in the application. Google released the version of Google Voice Application for iPhone last month. Now, iPad and iPod Touch users will be able to send and receive text messages. Users cannot make calls with the iOS application; however, Google Voice application comes with a feature called Click2Call to allow iPad and iPod Touch users to make Google voice calls through their devices.

The product manager of Google, Marcus Foster, explains how the feature Click2Call feature works. He said, “Simply click any ‘Call’ button in the Google Voice app on your iPod or iPad and then select which of your phones you want to ring. Google Voice will call your phone and then connect your call.”

Some of the improvements in the newer version of the Google Voice Application are:

When you enable Push Notifications, we will automatically disable Text forwarding for you, so you won’t receive multiple notifications.

Want some quiet time? You can send all callers straight to voicemail by turning on Do not disturb in the Settings tab.

We made it easier for you to place calls from the address book by adding a dedicated Contacts button to the Dialer tab.

Sending text messages is now more streamlined since you don’t need to press the OK button anymore.

Bonus Tip: Tap and hold messages in your inbox to archive or delete them.

You can simply download the official Google Voice application for free from the App Store.
