Qualcomm's Streaming Dock Turns Your Phone Into a PC

The dream of the Android PC lives. At Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 demo event in New York, one of the chipmaker's more surprising products was a little streaming stick and a dock that, together, connect your phone to a TV or turn it into a desktop computer. [...] The point of the demo, really, was to show off Qualcomm's 802.11ac and new 802.11ad streaming capabilities. The new 802.11ad standard, formerly known as WiGig, is a short-distance, high-speed protocol that uses the 60GHz band. It should solve the stuttering and network congestion problems we've seen with Qualcomm's Wi-Fi-based Miracast and Apple's AirPlay streaming. - Sascha Segan,PCMag [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
