Could someone explain Miracast - General Topics

I've just started looking at miracast, its new to me, looking for some straight answers
Is it as straight forward as buying one of the devices available, jack it into TV, connect to WiFi then steam from mobile/tablet to the big screen?
What exactly are the requirements of said mobile device (android)?
Will it work with an original nexus 7 and/or HTC One Mini

What Tablet is Best For My Use?

I'm also looking for a tablet with USB 2.0 so I can plug my flash drive and copy data from it directly on my tablet.. And also I would like to plug my tablet to projectors so I can present my slide..
So far I've came with Acer Iconia A500.. It has a USB port to copy data and HDMI port to connect to projectors (maybe with HDMI VGA converter?)..
Is there any other tablet better than that with functionality I mentioned above?
Thanks
For badassery, get the ASUS Transformer or if you need a cheaper tablet that still handles well but with very little dev support, the Toshiba Thrive is great too.

Don't know if you have bought a tablet yet but I have a Toshiba thrive and I think it's awesome...Once rooted and custom rom its decently fast and smooth. The full ports are very very useful for me but if you aren't going to use the ports then really there is no point to the thrive and it's obesity.

Toshiba Thrive has a slot,also they're new flagship tablet if you're budget can make it.

Which tablet should I get for my birthday?

My birthday is coming up soon and I have decided I want a tablet. I was thinking about an iPad but I want a tablet that can replace my laptop so it would need Flash player support.
Now I have read in numerous places that Jelly Bean will not support flash. I also noticed that flash player works in Chrome (for android) now and it didn't used to. So would flash sites (such as streaming sites) work on Jelly Bean because of Chrome?
And finally, I don't want to spend a tonne because it is my 16th and I will be getting driving lessons so I am stuck between the Asus transformer 300 and the Nexus 7. I have been drawn more towards the transformer because of the keyboard dock (understandable since it is a laptop replacement... Right?) but I also wouldn't mind the Nexus 7 since you are always guaranteed the latest and greatest updates since it is Google's tablet.
So, suggestions?

I'm not bothered about a camera on a tablet, in fact, I probably won't even be using the camera on the back (if I get the Transformer).
It's more about which one would be a better replacement for a laptop.
Streamung, browsing, emailing, watching movies.
I'm thinking the Transformer because of the keyboard as I mentioned above.

Do your own research. Use Google. Other peoples 'good' tablet may be different to yours.
And, finally, do not bump your thread on XDA. If it is interesting it will get replies, otherwise it will die the death it deserves.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 32GB Dual-core Cortex-A9 10.1 inch Android 3.0 Tablet PC + WiFi
in my opinion, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 32GB Dual-core Cortex-A9 10.1 inch Android 3.0 Tablet PC + WiFi can meet your demand.
you can search this item on google to review the specfication. As i know, this tab is android honeycomb 3.0, 32gb storage,support bluetooth,wifi,camera and 3g !
The 3G is the only tempting part (and the specs) but I can't go back to Honeycomb. It's uglyyyyy!

I certainly won't
Not meh, but the kindle paperwhite looks pretty awesome (appears to be running Android, maybe ICS so like the nook simple touch should be rootable)

The new pad will better.
Maybe. Is the BootLoader locked

No idea. If it isn't than it might be a nice buy. Also, thee is a huge thread on this in the nexus 7 forums, if you want to look at that.

If you can install a custom ROM maybe. Otherwise Kindle are way too "closed" for my taste.
Anyway I m waiting for Ipad mini (if it's exist and jb) and new Windows RT tablet. I ll decide around XMas.
I don't think there will be sub 10" tablet on Windows RT. Microsoft should have start on that market right from the start.
nexus 7
I'm in the process of trying to sell nexus 7 and buy 8.9 hd tab. I love nexus 7 works very well and nexus device rocks as long its not on verizon. I've come to realize i dont like 7inch form factor. I watch movies mostly. I like the bigger size and screen.

Mp3 player running jb

Does anyone know if there is an iPod type android device that is running JB? I would need a SD slot and a decent rear camera.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
There is the galaxy player. Its not on jb and hasnt been popular because I think that mist people who want an android mp3 player just use their phone. There is also the motoactiv for something smaller. I know its rooted and old buddy of mine worked with a dev here and they did it. Again I don't think its jb.
U believe your best jb solution is a phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
You could just use a phone without a sim card installed? Or when it's a CDMA phone just don't activate it. Lots of people did that with the CDMA One V. I think that would be your best option, a phone that isn't activated or doesn't have a SIM card installed.
Sent from my One V using xda premium
Phones are pretty pricey especially those that are on jb. And there doesn't seem to be a decent used market for jb updated phones yet. I can use my nexus 7 but it's kind of big and no sd or camera. So until someone sees a market for it I'm out of luck.
Edit. Here's something. Does anyone have any experience with these Chinese knock offs?

BTW there are rumors and prototype pics out there of a new galaxy watch but the iPod has so completely taken over the mp3 player space they killed the zone which Microsoft threw money at like crazy. I don't know that there is or will be an android offering of any note too soon

Nexus 7 or Others

Hi Guys,
I am currently have Note 10.1 3G version and I am eying to a smaller form factor Nexus 7 (second gen?). Do you think it would be worth to replace my current tab to Nexus 7? Or maybe Note 8.0 ?
I am looking a portable yet powerful tab. I dont watch full length movie or play intensive games on tab. What i need is to be able to check my emails, fb, chat with friends, play bit of simple games , skype, Google apps, maps. I also need a tab thay has capability of wifi hotspot.
Your thoughts please.

its time to try new generation laptop-tablet hybrid
waiting for N7 2nd gen
I suggest waiting for the 2nd gen Nexus 7. It may be the best 7" tablet on the market when it comes out and it could be only $200-250 if they price it like the first gen. The rumor is that it will be announced next month, so let's wait and see!

The second gen nexus 7 when it is released would be a good buy because it can easily perform all the tasks you need it to do. If you are in a hurry you could just buy the first gen nexus 7.

Thanks Guys. I will wait for second gen nexus 7

Nexus Suggestion
I do agree with the others, I have bought 2 Nexus 7 tablets 6 months ago and I agree that having 4.2.2 out of the box is awesome considering some of the latest phones are just starting to get it, they are ahead as far as software goes. they are lean with an AOSP interface but as well as they are stable, Ive found that the battery as much as it should be awesome is not stellar on either of the 2 I own. I am not hypocritical of the device as I think they're awesome but for the $199 they are worth it.. and if the 2nd gen matches in price with improved specs, it's a win-win...
Cool.. Thanks guys. Im sure the new nexus 7 is worth buying. But we are not sure when this new device will be release, but still I'm holding for awhile
