Sony Ericsson Vscreens shares media to any device's browser

Sony Ericsson Vscreens shares media to any device's browser

Posted on Nov 21, 2011 by MG15

Sony Ericsson on Friday brought out a beta app that lets an Android device share its media on most bigger screens. Vscreens requires an Android app (Market) but can form a bond to share media with any device on the local Wi-Fi network by scanning a QR code on the screen. The link works on any modern browser and will show photos and videos on the target browser, even on iOS devices or the PS3.

The approach is a way to skip the trouble of requiring both devices on a universal sharing protocol, like DLNA, or else making a physical connection.

Running the app demands at least Android 2.1, but it isn't locked to Sony Ericsson phones.

As noted by "Chippy" on CarryPad, which picked up early on the Intel video, "It seems clear now that this could be an open source version of Gingerbread for Atom that third parties ...
