Today, at Synology, we announced on the Synology world-wide blog the upcoming release of 2 new iPhone applications. These new iPhone applications work with the Synology Disk Station Manager firmware (DSM 2.2) to integrate into Disk Station features. The apps, named DS Audio and DS Photo are still under Apple’s approval process but we expect them to be released in the month of July. The public beta of DSM 2.2 will be launched mid July and we expect that the applications will be available shortly afterwards.
Now you can upload a photo you just took with your iPhone or use a photo already stored on your iPhone/iPod Touch to Synology’s Disk Station and instantly share it with anyone online. The photos can be viewed on Synology Photo Station or any web browser.
With DS Photo for the iPhone/iPod Touch, you will be able to;
- Upload photos to an existing album on Synology Disk Station or create a new one
- Enter title and descriptions for the photos
- Browse photos on Synology Photo Station with Safari on iPhone, using the features of zooming in, zooming out, and rotating photos
DS Audio allows you to stream music stored on Synology’s Disk Station with your iPhone/iPod Touch where internet access is available. *We are working on allowing our applications to deliver streaming music over the 3G network.
With DS Audio for the iPhone/iPod Touch, you will be able to;
- Play music stored on your Synology Disk Station with iPhone/iPod Touch
