doubleTwist(TM) Enables any Android Device to Stream Music, Photos and Videos to the Xbox and PlayStation 3
SAN FRANCISCO, February 15, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- doubleTwist today announced the availability of AirTwist(TM) in a major
update to the popular doubleTwist AirSync(TM) Android app, giving users the
freedom to enjoy their photos, videos and music on any TV connected to an
Xbox or PlayStation 3.
"With more than 100 million game consoles in households today, and more
than 300,000 Android devices activated daily, there is a real need for users
to easily and reliably enjoy their media across all their connected devices,"
said Jon Lech Johansen, co-founder of doubleTwist.
"doubleTwist provides an amazingly seamless media experience on Android
and with the addition of AirTwist, doubleTwist is enabling users to unlock
the power of their living room devices."
After enabling the AirTwistoption in the doubleTwist app, the user's
device will automatically appear on the Xbox or PS3 and their media can
instantly be enjoyed on the big screen.
doubleTwist has created a powerful media platform consisting of native
apps running on Android, Mac and Windows, enabling users to not only
seamlessly share their photos, videos and music among their phones, tablets
and computers, but also subscribe to podcasts, andlisten to online radio. The
recently launched doubleTwistAirSync Android app added the ability to
wirelessly sync media between users' Android phones and the doubleTwist
desktop application. Now, AirTwist further enhances the platform by enabling
users to initially use these two games consoles to play music, photos and
video on TVs, but with support for a wide range of DLNA compatible devices
added in future updates.
Availability
doubleTwistAirTwist is available today as a free upgrade through the
Android Market to all doubleTwistAirSync users for devices running Android
1.6 and above. It will also be made available in the Amazon and Verizon app
stores. Support for additional DLNA devices beyond the Xbox and PS3 is coming
soon.
