iTunes Cloud and Wireless Sync Coming Soon [Confirmed]

Boy Genius Reports has just posted that an interesting article concerning some of iTunes Cloud services and features will be coming as Streaming music and movies from your computer to others, Also BGR announced an amazing serivce which is Wireless Sync with Devices!

Here's the Most important 3 Features:

Streaming music and movies from Apple’s servers to your computers, devices, etc.
Streaming music and movies from your home computers to your other computers, remote devices, etc.
Wireless iTunes syncing with devices

Here's the report from BGR:

For the first point, we have been told that this will work pretty much like you’d expect it to… pretty much any Apple device with wireless capability will have te ability to stream purchased content directly from Apple’s servers, thus eliminating the need for a lot of local storage. With the second point, Apple will reportedly let you be the content distributor to your own computers and devices, as any purchased content that’s locally on your computer will be able to be streamed using your internet connection out to your devices. Lastly, yes, wireless syncing of iTunes for devices.

For wireless syncing, we are told it will work pretty seamlessly. Any apps you buy for instance on your iPhone will immediately sync to your computer, changes to your calendar, or notes, or contacts will also automatically update on your computer as well. What good would all these new features be without some new devices? Apple’s traditional fall event (or maybe even before it) should bring at least “two new devices with camera/camcorder capabilities.” Well, there you have it!
