This will only matter to me if the chromecast supports it, and they never said it did.
This is awesome, now I just need to get a miracast compatible receiving device...

are there any cheap miracast receivers out there?
Is there a reason I'd use miracast over chromecast since I just bought one of those?
Sorry but what exactly is miracast?

It's a wireless display technology, so you can broadcast video from your device to another display over WiFi.

OK that's cool thanks so would this work with a computer or laptop or does it need a certain device from Google? As I see some ofmyounare saying you need a miracast enabled device to use it with.

Like you said, has to be a miracast enabled device. I don't know of any computer program to enable it. I believe the devices are mostly smart tv and some blu-ray players. I'm hoping the new chromecast will support it.

If the chromecast device works you'll have a smart tv for $35 assuming you live in the US. I don't think it is available outside of the us at the moment. The device is pretty small, around the size of a large USB thumb drive judging from the pictures and plugs into hdmi.

Awesome I do love in the us though I'm currently out of the country but I'll be back in 1 month. I'll have to look up this chrome cast. So you just plug it in your TV and it uses the TV as a monitor and sort of makes it a smart TV? Well if I understood right that's sweet especially for only 35 dollars.

They have added Miracast but the performance isn't great on my PTV3000. However, my PTV3000 is pretty terrible so it could easily be of no fault of the Nexus 10.
I thought I noticed a new option but I couldn't remember if it was there the whole time

Chromecast does not support Miracast.
And given that it's only in the 2.4ghz range only, that's probably a good thing. In most of my use cases, you probably wouldn't want to use it without 5ghz.
It's designed a little differently though - instead of going from the internet, through the device, to your monitor/TV, Chromecast takes the content directly from the internet using your phone more like a remote. The quality of the stream should be much better.
But of course you lose the ability to mirror the screen of your device on your monitor/TV.
I prefer the better quality stream for most wireless streaming and will use my HDMI cable when I need a mirror as the performance was better with that anyway.

Its the connected media app. It should say in the TV specs if it has dlna. If it does then whenever your phone and TV are on the same wifi network you can stream photos and videos to the tv! Its quite nice haha

But your TV must be able to decode or playback the file type you are streaming via DLNA. This is not like HDMI mirroring. Not sure if you can do that via WiFi on EVO 3D.

So far best I've seen are the Samsung smart tvs as far as picture and amount of well rounded techy features. They also have been updating the firmware very regularly in that line lately bringing new features and such.

Hdmi mirroring over wifi isn't here yet. Samsung is working on it and standards are not final yet. But hdmi over wifi would be like a laptop's clone display or the evo 3d's mhl adapter to connect to hdmi. It won't be limited to just specific files but full screen sharing - as in whatever you see on the phone will show on the tv. Hopefully we'll see this later this year.

I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus threads and saw this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--zcmqIyRI and decided I would try it out on the Note. I did this on my Evo when I had one so this isn't a new idea but I kind like it. This isn't an in depth video, it just shows you how it works with what I have working with it. The commands that the Nexus user can use with his keyboard I couldn't get to work with the Note. Not sure if its an ICS thing or what. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laUNz7QJ9Wo&feature=youtu.be
I too have been playing around with this and it is a pretty novel idea. It isn't 100% there yet in terms of being a setup I could use full time, but it does let me travel without my laptop and plug in to a hotel TV.

I just found an old Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard (it's a small black box that you set on a table, and it projects a full-sized keyboard onto whatever flat surface it's sitting on using a laser) I used to use with my Windows Mobile 2003 PDA and tried to pair it with my Note today. It works flawlessly! This thing hasn't worked with any of my devices since WinMo 5, and even then it usually required a driver to be installed. Not with the Note! Just need to be sure I have the Samsung Keyboard selected (but it doesn't need to be open). I just keep getting more and more excited about this thing (except for the dark splotches on my display and low Quadrant scores).
Ok this is neat for traveling. Anyone know what cable we need to connect to the lcd monitor?

You have to have the MHL to HDMI adapter for it to work. I got mine on Amazon for $22 including shipping and got it within 5 days. Then of course a bluetooth keyboard and mouse..works good. Does your monitor have HDMI?
Edit: If your traveling I'm sure the tv might have an HDMI...unless you stay in a Days Inn as I do..

On ethernet the stock browser has no lags...... I connected a Linksys USB200M v2 adapter....I am gettting full bars on WiFi from my NetGear WNDR4500 router and lags persist.....Hope this helps ASUS with this problem.
How does it compare to desktop browsing loading times
So far so good on the ethernet here.
Most people who have the problem probably wouldn't if they would just go into Settings>Advanced in the browser and change "Enable plug-ins" to On Demand .. this stops the flash windows from auto loading and lagging it out
Nicely implemented by Asus, using the USB Ethernet Adaptor that came with Asus Zenbook.

It should work, but I would advice against using it because the network adaptor will increase the power drain quite a bit. Further more, the way it is connected to the prime makes it hard for the user to use the tablet properly without stressing the physical connection of the USB kit to the prime.

Haven't tried myself (don't have an adapter) but others on the forum have tried and there doesn't appear to be any MHL capability at all. Sony would prefer you use DLNA to stream your content, so the omission of MHL makes sense.
It's an irritating absence, but we can't have everything

Yeah, but expecting that was dreaming pretty high. Sony's most innovative hardware has always been their most protected and locked down for multitude of reasons. If you need a highly extensible and customisable technology, skip the Sony offerings.
