It is true that PCs only have the one workflow: airplay audio out of iTunes. And iTunes is a raging piece of shit.
But it is basically a system service on iOS, which does not require iTunes. And with the next release of the Mac OS, display mirroring will be built in - how hard would it be to implement it in iTunes for windows and short-circuit Microsoft's Play-To and DNLA services?
Every platform vendor needs this device-spanning mortar now. And Google doesn't have it.

- jpxxx 14y agoApologies! I stand corrected.
- __david__ 14y agoI recommend "Airfoil" [1] which lets you stream to airplay devices from any app on your system. It makes my airport express way more useful. [1] http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/ http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
