PLAiR has been announced back at the CES in Las Vegas and it’s now finally available for purchase. Those who haven’t heard about it should know it’s a small, fancy-lookin’ device that works like Apple’s AirPlay, allowing users to stream content from a PC, Mac, iOS or Android-based device to any HDTV with an open HDMI port. In other words, it’s made to make it as easy as possible to beam content from your computer/smartphone/tablet screen to your TV. And to that end, the company is also offering Chrome Plug-in, as well as dedicated apps for iOS and Android.
The official pitch goes like this (from the press release):
PLAiR frees up its users from the mirroring restrictions of AirPlay and other alternatives. When a user beams a video, PLAiR takes over the streaming and allows the user to browse the Web, logon to Facebook, or have a lean back experience by simply powering off their laptop or mobile device.
As for the price, PLAiR could be yours for $99; it is available in three colors: Raven (black), Aqua (blue) or Passion (red). Under the hood, PLAiR hides a 1GHz ARM Processor, 1 GB DDR3 RAM, 802.11n wireless, and a built in GPU/VPU for full 1080p streaming. You can get your unit from here.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run Symbian Watch which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
