While we all wait patiently for Apple to concoct its own subscription-based, unlimited music streaming service (hello, Lala acquisition !), MOG is jumping on the opportunity right away. Er, almost right away. Down in Austin this week, the company announced that an iPhone and Android app would be out “in early Q2″ in order to bring unlimited music streaming to both operating systems for $10 per month. We’re told that a catalog of seven million songs will be available, but there’s no way to know if 6.99 million are of the “no one cares” variety. At any rate, your monthly fee will also allow unlimited streaming from the desktop, but alas, you’ll be left with nothing but hollow memories should you ever stop ponying up

Whether you’re carrying an iPhone, Android or Palm Pre device, there’s an app available to access ZumoDrive’s cloud service. This means that you can stream nearly all your media and view most documents over Wi-Fi, 3G, and Edge. More

The OnLive streaming game service that takes console and PC games, renders them server-side, then streams it to your Mac or PC, will go live on June 17 in the US (lower 48). More

Wow. The PS3 is getting HD purchases and rentals from all six major studios. A quick search turns up that Xbox is missing Fox and, duh, Sony. It’s nice that Sony isn’t handicapping the Playstation 3 in order to protect its blu-ray business. Sony’s got deals with Fox, Disney, Paramount, Itself, Universal and Warner. I’m impressed.

Media streamers aren’t exactly new, but there’s another entrant to the field that works so simply and easily it should be nearly mandatory for any iPhone user. It’s called Air Video —and it’s only three bucks. Here’s the scenario: I’ve got a NAS with about a terabyte or so of video sitting on my network. Some torrented files, a lot of DVD rips I made myself, a fair amount of random Xvid and MKV files I’ve kept for years, and quite a few h.264 MPGs that I encoded of my own work. Now, getting videos to an iPhone is relatively easy—if you want to convert them to h.264. Toss the file into Handbrake , fiddle with a few settings, and copy the converted file into iTunes to be synced to your iPhone

We’ve chronicled how Pandora was nearly wiped out by the dickish National Association of Broadcasters, but actually, it’s been a decade-long struggle to survive. Did you know founder Tim Westergreen considered a blackjack tour in Vegas to raise money? [ NYT ]

The new TiVo Premiere is like dinosaurs who got upgraded with laser jetpacks: Fancier, but potentially outmoded in a world populated by tons of ninjas with nuclear shuriken. I saved up enough money to buy the first-generation TiVo—one of the Philips models, I think—when I was still in high school, and mostly used it to record episodes of Buffy and Batman the Animated Series scattered all over the vast expanse of cable television. Oh yeah, and skip commercials. No commercials, and Batman whenever I wanted? This is the future of TV, I was pretty sure. Which turned out to be true.

Tragedy! The New York Times is reporting that Viacom is going to pull ” The Daily Show ,” ” The Colbert Report ,” and other Comedy Central properties off of Hulu next week. The reason, as always: money. The bigger question: who’s next? Apparently Viacom realized the importance of “The Daily Show” to Hulu—it’s consistently one of the site’s most popular programs and is clearly in sync with the Hulu demographc—and wanted outsized compensation, possibly including upfront payment.

Here’s a real interesting question from a recent Netflix survey: “How likely would you or someone in your household be to instantly watch movies & TV episodes on your iPhone via a Wi-Fi network?” If you recall, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings promised that Netflix streaming would come to the iPhone “eventually” just a few months ago. While survey questions can be indicative of a company’s plans—it wouldn’t be the first time for this kind of company to tip their video hand via survey —I wouldn’t get too excited. Not because of the tech, which is trivial (even considering the jump from Microsoft’s Silverlight technology on the desktop) but because of the rights. Netflix has already run into issues with studios afraid of it massing too much influence, too many eyeballs, squeezing the lifeblood remaining in DVD profits preserved by the window system—the journey a movie takes from the multiplex to DVD to PPV to HBO to cable— before the studios can extract the last final drops themselves. That disgusting 28-day window before you can rent a new Warner Bros. movie is a primo example
