It's called HE-AAC. Apple has been putting support for this on the iPods and iPhones for a couple years, but went largely unused and un-noticed. It makes sense for Apple to use it for the streaming service due to the lower bitrate.
-
That's funny, considering iTunes Japan is the only iTunes store that still uses 128kbps DRM AAC. Even worse, Japanese labels (especially Avex) has pulled a ton of their stuff from iTunes US.

Need Apple? Personally, retailer support is more important. What's the point of NFC if I can only use it on certain few retailers, regardless whether I have an Apple device or not? Have everything, including public transportation, ATMs, vending mach…

This is stupid. I like the network map of the routers, but come on, it won't even show you the full list of all the DHCP clients. (the pop up only shows 3 wireless clients, useless).

Go Amazon! I hope Amazon can bring a self-subsidized phone, unlocked without US carriers intervention. That would be a game changer!

The dilemma of the Mac pro is that there are users that need more power and expandability than the 27" quad-core iMac can offer, and at the same time are disappointed with the prices of Mac pros due to Apple using the Xeon chips and ECC RAM. Apple c…

How does this work? Let say I have an iPhone without text plan but with data plan. Will iMessage be smart enough to use the data connectivity by default?

Verizon wants control of handsets that they sell. Samsung allows carriers complete control of their handsets. Apple doesn't. So the reason is obvious. Verizon (and other carriers) are afraid of Apple. Apple started the concept that cellphones' featu…

That logo looks more like the LG logo to me than Apple's. Maybe LG should sue.

So, $99 fire sale next?

There is literally zero competition to the iPod Touch. Really. The Zune? Dead. Samsung Galaxy Player? Nowhere to be found. And even if there's a competitor, all Apple need to do is cut the Touch's price, and it's game-set-over. Just look at the iPod…

Cheapest solution is to just get an Airport Express. It even has digital out. Just add your own speaker/hifi.

People need to just remember, out of those market share, who's making the most money?

I don't understand why Apple can't integrate Facetime into iChat. Seems like a no-brainer instead of having Facetime as a separate app.

The keyboard slide out is obviously either mis-information or an old pre-original-iPhone rumor. The next iPhone "5" will definitely carry the same design as the iPhone 4. With production of the CDMA iPhone 4 being fairly recent, I doubt Apple would …
