Airtame

Anyone seen this?

AIRTAME

Looks interesting... basically just Miracast but meant to be 'better' whatever that means. If they can fix the lag I'm buying it.

Thanks for the heads-up...looks like an interesting device and appears to be more functional (usable) than Chromecast (although it sounds like google has just made Chromecast available for open development; so maybe someone will tweak those to work similarly)?

Shame my monitor doesn't have a USB slot! So I'd need to be upgrading anyway...

I was interested in Chromecast but then I realised you can't send any old thing over from Chrome, not as good as Miracast or the above.

Agreed...my Chromecast has been sitting since I realized how limiting it was to attempt to "cast" video from Chrome to the TV. Seemed really laggy and stalled intermittently, but probably the poor Wi-Fi on my end didn't help.

I thought the Airtame device uses HDMI to connect to the TV?

It does but it's powered through USB, this is an image used on their website...
