Re: [iPad] Apple to wind back the clock to '09 with focus on quality, not features, in next OS X | Computerworld

 


Thanks for that.  Interesting.  It must have seemed too good to keep proprietary.

AirPlay depends on wifi.  It must work with almost all wifi, or it's of questionable value.  Very few users, I'd bet, have nothing but Apple hardware in their houses.  Therein lies the problem, I suppose.  Apple engineers may simply have bitten off more than they can chew.  It may be that there are more variables than anyone could deal with successfully.

Airplay was developed BY Apple, FOR Apple devices, and as such began life as a proprietary protocol

AirPlay is a proprietary protocol stack/suite developed by Apple Inc. that allows wireless streaming between devices of audio, video, device screens, and photos, together with related metadata. Originally implemented only in Apple's software and devices, it was called AirTunes and used for audio only. Apple has since licensed the AirPlay protocol stack as a third-party software component technology to manufacturer partners for them to use in their products in order to be compatible with Apple's devices.
