More often than not, converting videos to iPhone/iPad compatible formats requires a great deal of time, and additional accessory such as iTunes is needed for sync before finally making the videos watchable on iPhone iPad. Therefore, direct streaming of video/audio to iDevices is eagerly urged and welcomed by Apple fans for instant and convenient movie/music enjoyment.

Air Playit, acting as a personal audio/video cloud server, allows users to play any video in any format existing on their computers (PC & Mac) on their iOS devices by means of streaming. The most competitive advantage of this free audio/video streaming software is the needlessness of format conversion and iTunes’ sync.

Shortly after the release of Air Playit iPhone edition applicable for iPhone and iPod touch on July.15, 2011, the developer recently published the iPad edition to response to the users’ call. By now, iPhone and iPad editions are available with expectation to their younger “brother” Android edition. In support of both local and remote network connections, their functions are in a way similar:

OS Operable: Windows, Mac

Traits: Available for Free, 0 iTunes requirement and few sec buffering and waiting.

Video Formats Acceptable: WMV, ASF, AVI, MOV, RM, FLV, MP4, MKV, M2TS, AVCHD, and all imaginable formats.
