Ok, so it's billed (here at least) as the "iTunes Replacement". And it advertises strongly "Converts and syncs to Android" (front and centre on the main page).
But I'm really unclear if it'll actually replace iTunes for my iPod Touch. It doesn't say anything about i devices that I can see (except for advertising an iPad app that doesn't seem to be available yet.)
So either;
a) it doesn't sync my iOS devices in which case it may be a great media player, but it's not an iTunes replacement or
b) They're hoping I'll take a huge amount for granted.
My guess is that the heading in Hacker News is the bit that's completely misleading and I do wish folk wouldn't editorialize the headline.
If it _is_ an iTunes replacement then a lot more info is needed - like will it sync my apps? Can I purchase new apps? and so on.
Can I sync my videos to an iPod or other video device?
Currently, Miro doesn't directly sync with any portable devices. However, we will be working on this in future versions. In the meantime, you may be able to sync the video files themselves with a separate program.
Yea, I felt the same, I only use iTunes today to sync with my iPod and this answer our question(http://www.getmiro.com/using-miro/faq/index.php#q3.7), it seems to download torrents though, "why" is my new question..
I used to use Miro, just to download torrents, about a year ago. My use case was to watch Ted Talks. You can search for RSS feeds from within it and once subscribed, select what items it downloads from within a feed. Once a video is watched, It'd be auto-deleted a week later, unless the user decides to keep it. It was actually pretty good. Eventually I ran out of hard disk space and decided to delete all the videos and uninstall Miro.
