I'm eagerly awaiting folders and the unified inbox feature. iOS 4.1 scheduled for release on September 8th will be predominantly a bug fix release + HDR photos.&nbsp;</p>

What I'm wondering is this: will AirPlay allow me to stream my iTunes media to my iPad or iPhone? I have some movies and tv shows in iTunes, and I would very much like to stream them rather than have to sync them. Any ideas on this? :confused:

I'm not quite sure. Apple seems to imply that the music will be sent to "speakers," or to an AppleTV, but one screen shot that I saw showed "computer" as a destination ... this could be something that some tinkering (ok, hacking) may uncover. I like the idea of being able to stream my library to my iPad, since it won't fit anyway ...
