Zapstreak: Airplay for Android Mobile SDK Hits Private Beta
Summary
What started as an app idea by founders Stefan Bielau, Matt Rutkowski and Patryk Zabicki, transformed into Zapstreak, a dedicated solution for developers with the hopes of changing the TV experience at home. Now, on the stage at TNW 2012, Zapstreak is officially launching its mobile SDK for Android developers in private beta. After embedding Zapstreak into a media app, users can push music streams, videos and images to a connected TV, adding what the team calls “a completely new dimension to the viewing experience at home.” Now, iOS users may not see this as special, but Android fans already know that a perfect Airplay counterpart has yet to arrive on the OS. Sure, there have been attempts like doubleTwist, HTC Mirror Mode, Airtight, Samsung SwipeIt and more, but if Zapstreak is successful, an Android-wide solution may soon be at every app developer’s fingertips.
