Sharing Android Video with Internet-enabled TV and Xbox 360
Want to watch your Android photos and videos with the comfort of your big flat TV screen and its remote control? Not interested in running cables across the room or spending hours in setting up PC software? You are at the right place 
We’ve just released iMediaShare Premium for Android which makes all this possible. We’ve tested it extensively and I’m happy to report video works great (including positioning) with Samsung Series 6 DLNA TVs and Xbox 360. PS3 unfortunately doesn’t play the video captured with the Android camera, but photos and audio still work great!
You could download iMediaShare Premium for Android from the Android Market, or visit iMediaShare website for more information.
Would love to hear your feedback and future feature requests. We are here to make the latter come true
Mobile Multimedia on Google TV – When, Not Whether
Well, Google did it again – they shook the world! – this time the TV industry. Yesterday at their annual conference Google I/O, they announced their TV platform – Google TV. According to them, “video should be consumed on the biggest, best, and brightest screen in your house, and that’s the TV.” And it is not only video. The idea is to merge the web and TV without compromising on either the web experience or the video experience, with a focus on discovery and personalization.
Converging the Mobile and the Home Entertainment Worlds
The new Nokia N8 seems to be all about mobile multimedia.
Just take a look at the commercial below… 70% of the ad time is about featuring the phone’s multimedia capabilities and 50% of the items on the feature list at the end are about multimedia again.
Advertising photo, video and music capabilities is not something new, especially for the N-series. The interesting part is the new Home Theater feature – that is the capability to integrate mobile phones and home entertainment systems using HDMI to play phone’s photos, videos and music on home TVs.
We’ve been working in the mobile multimedia sharing area for some time and I believe the home entertainment environment would be an interesting battle field not only for mobile device manufactures but also for telecom operators. It offers great opportunities to extend the footprint and boost customer loyalty…
Mobile 3D Displays for a 3D World
Two weeks ago, Sharp introduced their new product – glasses-free mobile 3D touch screen displays. Three-dimensional effect is noticeable when the display is about 30cm from the eyes. The picture persists even if the device is rotated from portrait to landscape orientation. The technology provides different image for each eye, creating the illusion of a three-dimensional picture.
Sharp launched mobile phones and PCs equipped with a display that enables users to watch 3D images without glasses in the early 2000s. Well, this is already done. The Japanese company said it plans to start making this year the advanced 3D displays for cell phones and other mobile devices that don’t require special viewing glasses, betting that demand for 3D images will grow beyond movie theaters and living rooms to portable machines. Mass production is planned for the first half of fiscal 2010.
So let’s enjoy our three-dimensional world through new 3D mobile displays!
