New iPhone OS Supporting Audio Streaming
June 09, 2009 - Posted By James


The new 3.0 operating system for Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch devices will include support for audio and video streaming through the gadgets’ Safari web browser. Ars Technica’s Chris Foresman reports that the new OS adds HTML 5 support to the iPhone’s web browser, which then enables web streaming and the automatic selection of the best bitrate to use based on network speeds.

Foresman told RAIN that this should allow users to tune in to any webcast that uses the HTTP protocol, though it does not allow for Flash-based streaming. A rep from Apple confirmed this, stating that any source “using open standards like AAC and H.264” can be streamed from the Safari web browser. The new OS is available to download (free for iPhones, $10 for iPod Touches) on June 17.
