Many streaming-savvy DVRs either lean heavily on cloud services or are linked to traditional TV — neither of which is ideal for cord cutters trying to lower their long-term costs. Nuvyyo is promising what could be a more affordable option with its upcoming Tablo DVR. The upcoming, partly crowdfunded set-top box streams both live and locally recorded over-the-air broadcasts to seemingly any internet-capable platform, including Android, iOS, Roku players and web browsers. In theory, it’s as cheap and convenient as internet-only video while delivering the wider content selection of traditional TV. We’ve had hands-on time with a Tablo prototype that suggests the company has at least latched on to a good (if imperfect) idea — read on to see what we mean. %Gallery-slideshow122001%

Having a semblance of patience is always a good thing, as the adage goes, good things come to those who wait. Well, I am quite sure that iOS users have waited for quite some time already for the Google Play Music app, which has finally arrived on the iOS platform. One ought to take note that it might require some getting used to Google’s music ecosystem, since it is vastly different from Apple’s. Those who have used Spotify or Amazon would be able to relate to it a whole lot better with most of the focus being on the Cloud. Imagine with the Google Play Music app, you are able to enjoy virtually millions of songs right there and then, regardless of the device, from anywhere.

Google’s Music is mostly in the Cloud, but it does come with a 5 app limit, although there is no limit on the number of devices that will arrive with web browser access. You also have the option to upload up to 20,000 songs for free, work on your very own playlists, and to share them with friends. It will cost you $9.99 each month, although you will be able to take advantage of the free first month trial if you are curious. There is a trio of quality levels to choose from when streaming, which is vital if you are running short on your monthly data, or are in a place with really poor network connection.

Google Play Music App For iOS Introduced original content from Ubergizmo.

We knew it was coming, and it might have taken a little longer than expected, but Google Play Music for iOS is finally here. The long-awaited iPhone app hits the App Store exactly six months after it was announced for Android and the desktop, and like its counterparts, offers free access to 20,000 of your uploaded tracks, lets you create playlists and also share songs with friends. However, you might be tempted to grab a free month’s trial for its All Access streaming service (normally $9.99 a month), which gives you access to over 20 million tracks, offers custom radio stations and helps you discover new music with its smart recommendation features. 9to5mac reports that Google is working to deliver an iPad version of the Play Music app and aims to bring its “I’m feeling lucky” feature and improved playback features in the near future.
