Hasta La Gadget!

Looking to bring the gift of song to your new, somewhat limited edition Nokia N9? Good news, Spotify is offering itself up to the MeeGo gods, bringing its music streaming services to the slick handset by way of the Nokia Store. The app is free, but requires the customary Spotify Premium account for you to get any actual enjoyment out of the thing.

Spotify comes to MeeGo to help keep your N9 company originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 27 Oct 2011 03:40:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

British expats and international fans of BBC television alike can now stream some Gavin & Stacey to their televisions (past season 1 anyway, which is on Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video), as long as they’re properly equipped. The global iPlayer app for iPad has been updated with AirPlay streaming (those in the UK however, have no such luck so far) so once users update to iOS 5 and buy an Apple TV box, they’re in business. Of course, this would all be much simpler if iPlayer were just available on the Apple TV itself (without XBMC or other hacks), but no one asked us, did they?

BBC’s global iPlayer app adds AirPlay streaming, should just be on Apple TV originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 22 Oct 2011 02:44:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Pogoplug Mobile stream content to and from your phone or tablet, wherever you are

Pogoplug Mobile is like iCloud without the cloud, and it works with pretty much any iOS or Android device. The little box sits on your home network and streams content to and from your phone — wherever you are — over the Internet.

The box works with content stored on SD cards or a USB hard drive. Plug them in and any photos, videos or music can be accessed via the Pogoplug app on your phone or tablet. It works the other way, too: any photos and videos you take with your phone are sent back automatically to your home.

If you have unlimited mobile bandwidth, or you use your mobile device predominantly in Wi-Fi zones, then this sounds ideal. The price is good, too: Just $80, with no subscription fees, ever.

Many folks here in the good ol’ US of A are familiar with streaming music services like Pandora, Rhapsody and Spotify, but may not be aware that Deezer dishes out tunes to those across the pond. Just last month it launched a mobile service on Orange, France’s largest carrier, and now the company’s looking to gain a far larger geographic footprint. Deezer plans to launch in over 100 more countries in the near future, and is in the process of partnering up with a bunch of other telcos to do it. It’s taking an unusual approach to expansion, going for aurally under served areas instead of joining the fray in the biggest music markets in the US and Japan — Indonesians and Brazilians gotta get down on Friday too, you know. The reason for doing so? Acquiring rights in the US is difficult (and expensive), but global licenses are easier to come by, which lets the Deezer diaspora occur by the dozen. So rejoice music lovers around the world, you’ll soon be able to get your Deezer on.
