Android users envious of iOS’s AirPlay can get their own wireless HDMI mirroring, thanks to a little dongle that plugs into any HDMI-port. It connects to your Android device over Wi-Fi and is fast enough for real-time mirroring.
The 8-minute demo video from Droidcon shows off the tech playing video, games and scaling well. It looks pretty impressive, working more or less in the same was as AirPlay does. The dongles will be available for around the £85 mark when released — a tad expensive if all you want to do is just show video on a larger screen, especially when you can cable some Android phones for free. Would you fancy laying down 85-quid for wireless mirroring? [YouTube via SlashGear]









85 quid does seem a bit pricey,but I am sure that will drop over time. I still want one right now though.
Waaay too expensive just to do without a wire. I can connect my SGS2 to my HDTV, and control it fine with my bluetooth mouse and keyboard, which includes games etc…
This needs to be under £50 to be viable to some degree.
Agreed.
Presume it will work on Android tablets? If so, this is a massive step forward…
To be fair to the price you still need a £99 Apple TV to be able to airplay to a TV.
