Obviously based on Miracast technology, I hope this isn't just a straight mirroring device. If this allows me to push any video/audio to my tv AND still let me use the tablet at the same time, it will be awesome. If it ties up the device while streaming then it's useless.

Why are Google taking so long to get into people's TVs? Everyone has a touchscreen Android device sitting in front of their tv, using it to control its content seems a no brainer.

Don't HTC and a few others already make those?

For $35? I'll buy one when they launch.

i think this is just straight mirroring. great for presentation and such.

i think what you want is something like the Favi stick. i was kinda disappointed with its performance. lets hope the Ouya box is better!

Try googling HTC media link. I think that's what theirs was called.
