The Gnex has the required hardware, but the OMAP SoC doesn’t have the software support yet.

I wish mine did that, as it kills the battery fast when the screen says on and outputs video.

Bionic, RAZR Maxx, and Asus Transformer Prime. They all have HDMI out and still mirror even when the screen is off.

What devices do you have? I have the Galaxy Nexus with the Samsung MHL adapter and if I am watching a movie or youtube ect and I turn the scren off the tv picture shuts down as well.

Can you elaborate? I have a GNex and a Sammy smart tv… what else is required?

WiFI Direct is the delivery platform, but it is not all that is required.

Gnex, S2/S3 owners. We have a version of this already called WiFi Direct. You’ll likely need a dongle for your TV though, some TV’s come with it however.

I know a few guys who didn’t know wtf and was just dicking around on their TV’s and phone’s and then noticed they both had WiFi Direct and it works

I don’t care what you want to call it. The bottom line is that right now the N7 has no video output. This would give it that. I want it if its capable of being done.

it was never a flaw. Miracast has been in the works for a while and expected to release Q4. HDMI out is old news and google/asus knew that.

How do I take advantage of this? Do I have to buy a new TV with the standard?

Could fix a glaring flaw in the design of the Nexus 7. Heres hoping.

Can you still stream a movie to the device at the same time?

hmm… seems interesting. but i remember when my buddy got a new i-core based laptop and it had this feature built in (yeah, diff tech, but same concept). he used it once i think. not sure how often i’d use it, especially considering you will likely have to buy a $150 receiver for this. only thing that would force me is the fact that the N7 has no video output, so this would be the only way. then again i dont have anything stored on my N7 and my ps3 makes a very suitable media player.

Will it require a special TV or some sort of adapter on the TV side? What about the tablet end? Does N7 have this already?
