If you have a recent Android phone, odds are you have a microUSB cable you can use to connect it to a PC to charge your phone and transfer files. The J5 Create Android Mirror JUC600 is a cable that does that… but it also lets you mirror your Android display on your PC>
That means you can view Android apps on a larger screen and play games, send text messages, or do just about any other Android activity on a notebook or desktop PC.
You can either use a keyboard and mouse to interact with Android using the window on your PC, or just pick up your phone and use it normally — everything you do on your phone will be mirrored on the big screen, and vice versa.
There is one problem: there’s enough lag to make watching videos or playing games possible, but not exactly perfect.
I was able to play a few rounds of Angry Birds and Cut The Rope in a demo, but the graphics definitely weren’t running at 30 frames per second. I suspect games where reaction time is even more important, such as first-person shooters would be even more problematic.
The software all comes preloaded on a stick connected to the USB cable, so there’s nothing to install. But you’ll need a device running Android 3.1 or later, and a computer running Windows XP or later.
J5 Create says the Android Mirror has a suggested retail price of about $50, but it’s already available for purchase for as little as $32.
Unfortunately, according to at least one v Amazon reviewer, the Android Mirror appears not to work with phones that have been rooted.
And what about freeware mymobiler that do the same on usb as well as wifi!
You do understand the cable is only a security dongle to let them charge more for an Android app than almost anyone else has managed, right?
Although it’s not a direct screen mirroring facility (so not relevant for gaming), AirDroid is a terrific app for sharing your phone’s functionality on the desktop (via wi-fi) and is probably more optimised for the medium. Fully cross platform, and supporting file transfers etc too.
This Is also Do using Screen Cast in andoid …..
It’d be great if I can mirror my Android phone onto my car’s touch capable nav screen instead.
