Music and video in the Cloud for the HP Tablet TouchPad?

in 10:54 GMT , By الصحة الاول

According Precentral, HP would work on a music store and video on demand (HP Music Store and The Movie Store HP) for its TouchPad Tablet, which would have the feature to record your purchases on the Cloud! Included in webOS 3.0, this feature would also synchronize your smartphone with your content (streamed?).

Most of the stuff in this marked-confidential presentation is the kind of stuff that readers like you already know about. It touches on webOS features like cards, multitasking, Synergy, touch-to-share, Ares development, the HP Music Store and HP Movie Store, Just Ty... wait, what? Yeah, the HP Music Store and the HP Movie Store. The two slides that discuss the afore mentioned media stores have two mockups that look like desktop apps shoehorned (i.e. Photoshopped) into the TouchPad screen (black bars across top and bottom), but it was the notes for the music slide that got our attention.

According to that slide, the TouchPad will come with a music syncing solution built-in that utilizes cloud servers to sync and remotely store your music. More than that, it will leverage a “smart algorithm” to ensure that the music the user is most likely to listen to is cached locally on the device. This service will also allow TouchPad owners to stream music that they don’t yet own. There’s also mention that this service will allow you to stream music to HP smartphones, presumably once they too are updated to webOS 3.0 like the TouchPad.
