millions of people are eager to find a way to watch YouTube videos on their TVs big? Probably not, although this may change as Google encourages more producers and creators in their original service launch video channels.
However, a new application called Clik offers some thoughts on smartphones role (and by extension, tablets) may play in living rooms connected in the near future.
available for iPhone and Android, the application is the work of the same team that built Kik Messenger, a group messaging application that has attracted 6 million registered users.
At launch, Clik has to do with videos from YouTube: browse them on your smartphone and launch a web browser on a bigger screen, read a QR code and then see videos on the big screen, while controlling the small. Several people can do both, too.
The mention of QR codes raises a warning flag:. An additional step that uncomfortable, over time, will surely become redundant because it makes it easier to make a smartphone and a TV connected to play well together
Yet something to the idea of ??a neutral application that requires no special hardware -. Apple TV set-top box in the case of mirroring Apple's AirPlay, for example,
Clik uses an interesting trend, however: a step from the idea of ??the second screen to do something on your smartphone or tablet and watching another on the TV. This is the control on your TV with your mobile device. By clicking on one of the investors, Union Square Ventures partner Fred Wilson, is striking the drum for the idea.
- "The ability of highly mobile devices such as mobile, easily take control of computers, televisions, cars and other expensive and complex is one of the most important trends in technology Now, "he said in a statement to accompany the launch of Clik announcement.
- The company is looking beyond YouTube, too. "We believe Clik content providers and game developers to change the way the game content and experience wherever they go - instantly accessible on any screen with a browser," explains website of the company
- Aa ups and other this study: the television company Zeebox British social, for example. Your application will not only allow you to see what friends are watching the channels. If you have a set of compatible connection, the application can be used for channel-hop result
music services
Search also in connecting music company Sonos equipment was made with their applications that make the smartphone or tablet control remotely, not only for their devices, but for different diffusion ( Spotify, Rhapsody and the rest) that passes through them. AirPlay Apple is currently the Music application IOS on a remote control for the speakers and compatible devices too.
There is much more of this to come, and chewing problems as a result, especially when it comes to rights holders.
