AllCast beta 7 app arrives with updated teaser

Koush has returned with another beta release for AllCast. This latest brings things up to beta 7 and once again, this has arrived with a short teaser video. The basics for the app, AllCast will allow the user to stream/send locally stored videos to a number of devices.


allcast-beta-7-540



According to details fro Koush, and as you will seen shown in the video sitting below, AllCast will stream to the Roku, Apple TV and Xbox (both the 360 and One) as well as Samsung Smart TVs and other DLNA devices. While there is some similarity between how this and the Chromecast works, there is an essential difference between the two apps.


AllCast will allow the user to stream local videos, whereas those using the Chromecast will be able to steam video from Netflix and Hulu Plus (as well as a few others that Google has allowed). Anyway, those looking to do a bit of streaming and a bit of beta testing at the same time will be able to grab the app using the via link at the bottom of this post.



One word of warning though, AllCast beta 7 will be up and running for just a short time. Koush pointed out this will will “self destruct” on December 1st. The other distinction worth pointing out is that AllCast will stream video only, so make sure to avoid clicking on any images you have sitting in the Gallery app on your smartphone or tablet.

Turntable.fm shutting down to make way for Turntable Live

When Turntable.fm launched a few years back, it was an interesting service that filled a unique niche. Two years in, the team behind the service are shattering it. Between scale and trying to monetize, it simply wasn’t working for the Turntable team. Also, they have a new service they want to try and promote a little more.


Turntable




Turntable Live is an online concert feature the Turntable team is now focussing on, and meant to bring live music to people everywhere. According to the blog post, Turntable is doing this for everyone: we want music, and artists need to get paid. It’s as simple as that.


Turntable Live can be viewed as a last-ditch effort to save a service, or a new day for music. As digital takes the place of physical, the payouts for artists become trying. They make see a lot of downloads, but smaller payouts don’t make sales numbers mean as much anymore. Artists rely on live performances to make the real money, but with the rising cost of tickets it’s a tough ask of fans.


With Turntable Live, anyone can tune in and watch. A recent show with Knife Party had over 20,000 tune in, which is quite honestly more than they’d see in a normal live concert situation. We get to see live music, and artists get to see some deserved revenue. It also opens the world up to lesser-known artists, and helps them to get exposure.


Again, there are two ways to look at it. We prefer to think of it as a new day for live music, and a great new way for artists to interact with fans. It’s early days, but Turntable Live is pretty exciting. We hope it doesn’t meet the same fate as Turntable.fm.

Android Community Weekly Wrap-Up for November 23, 2013

Looking back this was a pretty exciting week for Android users, specifically, for those carrying a Moto X and hoping to get Kit Kat. Motorola is making good on an earlier promise to have Android 4.4 available and those carrying a Verizon Wireless or T-Mobile Moto X received the update earlier in the week. The update recently began arriving for AT&T users as well. Of course, along with the Moto X, Kit Kat has begun arriving for some Nexus device users.

Outside of software updates, we also got a look at some upcoming hardware changes as well. In this case we look towards both Qualcomm and MediaTek, who each unveiled their next-generation processor this week. These both bring attention to Ultra HD with Qualcomm introducing the Snapdragon 805 and MediaTek introducing the MT6592, which they have dubbed a “true octa-core.”


As far as devices go, this week we saw the HTC Desire arrive with Virgin Mobile, a 128GB Meizu MX3 arrived in China, ZTE unveiled the nubia Z5S and Z5S mini, MetroPCS launched the Samsung Galaxy Mega and Verizon Wireless launched the HTC One max as well as the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and Galaxy S III mini. Toshiba also showed the Excite 7 tablet and the EVGA Tegra Note 7 tablet arrived with US retailers.

We also saw a limited edition 16GB OUYA console in white and the Moto G arrived in North America. Specifically, the Moto G availability was for those in Canada. The US release of the Moto G is still set for January and while this news didn’t arrive this past week, Verizon Wireless will have it available in the prepaid category.


Also, Qualcomm announced the pricing and availability for the Toq smartwatch, which will be available for $349 beginning on December 2nd. Continuing with smartwatches. The Pebble availability continued in Canada and there was some discrepancies with how many units of the Galaxy Gear were sold. Samsung initially talked about “sales” of 800,000 units and we later learned that was shipped. While that number may still sound high, Samsung did update the Gear Manager app and despite the high price tag, made that particular watch quite a bit more attractive.

A few remaining highlights this week include the availability of the physical Google Wallet cards, additional case options coming available in the Play Store, a rather large update for the OUYA game console, the self-healing abilities of the LG F Flex put to the test (from someone not directly associated with LG) and one of our favorites, an Android engineer discussing why you do not need to keep hitting the Check for Updates button.

There was also the bit about the Play Services suddenly becoming a battery drain, which remains a mystery. And last but certainly not least, we saw the jury award Apple $290 million. This stemmed back from an earlier court case where Judge Koh ended up reducing the amount of the $1.05 billion settlement that was initially awarded.


ZTE nubia Z5S mini benchmark results surface

Following a series of rumors and leaks, ZTE officially unveiled the nubia Z5S and Z5S mini at an event earlier in the month. ZTE offered details on the specs and pricing at the time and while we had a good idea of how the phones would perform based on the hardware, some still prefer to see the benchmarks so they can better compare to other devices. In this case, it looks like benchmarks for the nubia Z5S mini have recently surfaced.


ZTE-Nubia-Z5S-540x344



The benchmarks have been done using AnTuTu and come courtesy of ePrice . As you will see in the screenshots sitting below, the nubia Z5S mini scored a 21012. In the screenshot sitting on the right, there is also further confirmation on the specs. Granted, these have already been officially announced, but when dealing with screenshots, the more information the better. In this case we are seeing details of Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean along with a 1.7GHz processor, 2GB of RAM and Adreno 320 graphics.


Nubia-Z5S-Mini-Benchmark


Aside from the overall score of 21012, the nubia Z5S mini fell in between the HTC One and Galaxy Note 2. It also placed above the Xperia Z, Nexus 10 and Galaxy S III. Given the nubia Z5S mini is sporting a Snapdragon 600 processor, that is sort of where we would expect it to fall in line. And on the flip side, these AnTuTu results have the handset sitting below the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S 4 as well as the Xioami MI 2S. In comparison, the MI 2S is also sporting a Snapdragon 600 processor.


Other specs of the nubia Z5S mini include a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera with f/2.2 aperture, 5 megapixel front-facing camera, 2000 mAh battery, 7.6mm thickness and options for 16GB or 32GB of internal storage. The display on the mini will measure in at 4.7-inches and depending on the market, there will also be LTE and/or 3G connectivity.
