Recently we announced Verizon's Internet Security Suite for Mac users. Today we're giving Mac users a little FiOS love by rolling out a Mac-compatible version of the My Music and My Photos features of our FiOS TV Media Manager service.
This means that Mac users can now use Media Manager to organize, enjoy and manage their personal, photos and music on their Macs and seamlessly stream that content to their TVs.
Mac users can now stream their computer-based iPod playlists straight to their TV to play their music on their home entertainment systems. Of course, the Music must be Digital Rights Management (DRM) free for it to play seamlessly on the TV entertainment system.
Content you have created - like those recent back to school or summer vacation photos -stream to the largest screen in the house - your TV - easily. I'm just back from China and showed my photos at a friend's house the other night just by logging on to his FiOS home network from my media manager enabled laptop. It sure beat having the four of us huddling around the 15" computer screen.
With this release, My Videos is not ready for the Mac, but we're working on that too.
FiOS TV DVR customers can download the Mac version of Media Manager here. Check it out and let us know what you think.
