After playing around with smart devices like android, chromecast, smart tvs, beats, gaming consoles et al. for quite a long time, i adapted the concept of using and operating devices wirelessly. I embraced laziness level 101 to the extend of which i usually connect my laptop to a wireless keyboard and a mouse.
So with the influence of playing music and videos seamlessly from one android gadget to another and simultaneously (thanks to ES Explorer), i wanted to try if possible the same on my old notebook pc which i happened to connect with a monitor.
I asked uncle google alot of questions and i came around with windows app like andyroid and bluestacks which i never liked because i had a bad history with these emulators.
After a thorough search i discovered that you can use ES Explorer to share files to and from any pc, then i found that you can use VLC Direct .apk to stream videos and music from your android directly to your windows pc vlc player. Also you can stream any media from your pc directly from your phone.
So thats its. Now i can access all music and videos from my pc directly from my android phone as long as am within the same network (wifi).
Also i can transfer files to and from my pc without using any usb cables.
Devices are becoming smarter, we are becoming dumber…
Kama uko na any more smart tricks za pc/android zaidi share tu hapo chini.
iOS continuity and handoff.
Start a document/message/email on one device, pick up where you left of on another.
Pick calls on any device yenye iko karibu na inalia unachukua tu.
No third party software needed.
No.
And instant hotspot. Start a tethering session on you mac/iPod / iPad without “touching” the phone.
I’ve seen so many good devices I want to try but siwezi hama. The ecosystem just works seamlessly.
All I’m remaining now is CarPlay.
