Stream iTunes to your iPod?

Just this week I posted about an Apple patent that could mean an iPod remote is in the works. If you were intrigued by that patent, than this next one is definitely for you.

What if you could take the remote patent a step further? Instead of using the iPod to control your media from across the room, why not have your media streamed directly to your iPod? Apple has got that angle covered with this other patent that would enable an iPod to “wirelessly control and access a media server.” This could mean that you would be able to access music and other media right from your computer.

Like all patents that Apple has filed, these ideas may never be implemented in any Apple device. If you ask me though, all these patents that are surfacing from Apple are making an iPod with wireless capabilities seem all that much more plausible.
