It seems Apple has picked up yet another patent application. that moment, the focus appears to be on remotely streaming your iTunes library at home onto your iPhone or iPod Touch while you’re out and about via WiFi or a cellular network. 

As it stands right now, you have to physically put your songs, videos or what have you onto your iPhone or iPod during the synching process. What that patent proposes is that you would only need to transfer

a directory of the files in your library to the external device. When you go to play a song, it would next access your library at home by WiFi or a cell network and stream the composition to your phone. 

There’s no word on when or whether that technology will ever be put into place, but something similar is currently used on Apple TV and Airport Express.
