Yes, I believe there are 3rd party apps that support Airplay, but only through that app, this is htc building it in at system level, because they are licensed to do so, so its a much more seamless experience. Old technology renamed? It uses wifi to to stream the bits, correct, but the format is proprietary. Similar to chromecast audio
