Still No Apple TV Audio or Video Streaming Options?
Last I checked there weren't any options to let an Apple TV play content from a ReadyNAS (any variation). Last thread I found on this was last year. Is this condition still the case? Thanks!
UDP was meant for streaming, I guess it can't do anything else on everything less than a perfect network... TCP is connection oriented so the checks/reemit take some bandwidth, that was to be expected.
I share your analysis about bandwidth, but I can't understand how they can get something into a room that has such a problematic signal. Either you patch it or you use another room, but the bare minimum is to have a signal higher than the internet bandwidth before putting a piece of network connected thing in a room IMO. There are many cheap options to do that out there. I would pick powerline with wifi extender on one end if the signal just doesn't get through (I have a wall like that at my mothers, 80% signal from one side of the door, 5% on the other side) otherwise simple wifi extenders to cover the distance.
Yes, Apple (on iphone) doesn't let you do anything fancy. That's why there are jailbreaks out there although IOS 7 reduced the need for it and IOS 8 will clearly do the same. So yes for techies that want peculiar stuff android is better.
On OS X that's quite open. You have a shell (a decent one with autocompletion), you have app store but you also have third party apps.
Well, I'm not saying that Nokia is enough per se. But that's enough to begin serious work and drive other vendors in. Microsoft is a big tech enterprise, it sells softwares (windows, office, various servers), services (one drive, office 365...), and hardware (Xbox, Surface, Nokia Phones...). Most enterprises have contracts with microsoft. How hard would it be for Microsoft to handle Phones like active directory computers ? Not hard, thus keeping costs down for enterprises (no training, no additional server...). Now make sure they have models tailored for enterprises with pre installed enterprise software, connecting to sharepoint, exchange and active directory would be a breeze. And for maintenance contract ? Just add an option to the actual one, no big paperwork. Make sure you hit a good price spot for big clients and here you go.
Phones always have been a problem to manage in enterprise, give the admin what he wants (less work) at a good price, he will do the work for you, don't doubt it. If Microsoft gets to this point for enterprises we will see Nokia fleets spawning everywhere, and when you are satisfied with your phone, you buy the same for your wife and kids... The problem is that Microsoft isn't there just yet. They still have work to do.
They still brand colorful Nokia phones, they designed them for young people IMO (at least some of them). They need to change that image and brand some professional models with all the stuff (communication encryption, multi user authentication, remote administration, better PC/phone interaction (like Apple will do with yosemite)...). Enterprises always have been Microsoft playground, they just have to push there, even losing money for a year or two, locking up their customers. Then they will have a solid basis to go after consumers, making packs with surface or PC for example, using Xbox integration (your phone as a controller or as a secondary gaming device (like vita for PS4), or even using the phone to boost console speed). They could also pay developers to get their apps on the windows store.
They have plenty of possible strategies, they just need to take some risks, make a move soon and to make sure it counts. IMO there is no place for subtlety anymore, they need a hammer but they have some room for now.
