Zumocast is focused on helping you play/display the media you have on your computer to your iOS device. After installing the app on your computer and iOS device and registering with Zumocast, you are able to do some incredible things.
You can watch any video you have on your computer on your iOS device. When I say any, I mean ANY; it even transcodes formats that are not viewable into viewable formats/resolutions. It works over 3G or WiFi (though beware of your caps). If you are about to get on a plane, don’t worry, all you have to do is click a download button and the item begins downloading in that appropriate format! (subject to the 10MB 3G cap)
More of a music person than a movie person? Music works much the same way though for some reason it will not download.
Then, of course, you can view photos. But that is not where the viewing stops. I tried Word, Pages, Excel, PowerPoint, Keynote, PDF, RTF and all opened perfectly for viewing.
As far as I can see there are only a couple of disappointments. Why it doesn’t allow you to download the music is beyond me, but I understand having a healthy fear of the RIAA. It is also irritating that the desktop utility installs with a default to prevent your computer from going to sleep. While I am sure that is the best thing for ZumoCast to operate, I am glad I looked before I walked out the door tomorrow morning with a dead laptop. It would also be incredible if you could make some simple changes to text documents.
The best part of this incredible app is that it’s FREE and cross-platform. Zumocast supports windows, mac, and iOS. They are working on an android version as well.
What happened to the resource mentioned on http://www.loanheadparishchurch.co.uk/christmas/2010_suggestions.htm
Specifically the story of Christmas as it would have happened in this Digital Age. I would love a copy of this.
