New MobileMe to Offer Wireless Access to iTunes Library?
The new service would give users access to their iTunes libraries from, say an iPhone or iPad, instead of requiring that the devices be synced by cable with a computer and use space to store the actual files, the people said. The new service likely would be compatible with the iPhone 4, one of the people said.
The newspaper indicates that users will finally be able to access their iTunes libraries without syncing to their computer. Instead, files would be served wirelessly. There's been a lot of speculation that Apple might move towards "cloud" based music sync and services. Licensing issues are apparently holding up the debut of the service which was originally planned for last year.Steve Jobs has said in the past that wireless sync services would come eventually.

Good. As easy as it is to sync via usb cable, it's getting a little annoying.
I'm finding that I sync less and less lately, mostly because I couldn't be bothered. I used to sync daily.
I think that I sync my iPad once every two weeks.....

I have been using Subsonic with iSub on my iPhone which works quite well.
The only drawback is when I am on the eL in chicago and go underground downtown, I loose signal, so naturally, I need to have music on the phone as backup.
If Apple implements something similar, for free and works amazingly well with their ecosystem, I am quite excited then.

Implementation....
All files you have in iTunes can be synched or just purchases from iTunes Music Store?
GBs worth of music over 3G...that could take a while.
