No, the browser does not take streaming media either (try to open SC's
stream.mp3 or any other stream). Apple does things differently again.
They access FILES stored on a server but require the server to allow
byte range access so they don't have to download the full file upfront.
I think they assume this saves battery power.

BTW, I thought the same about playback at first but now I would quite
like to have the chance to listen to my music when I'm not at home, I
always forget to synch.

BTW, have you tried iPeng? It's slow compared to the native app but the
functionality is there today, I now can even do swipes on the browser
(OK, that's still somewhat beta).

But if you know iPhone well expect me to address all my questions to
you ;-)
