CheapCast – ChromeCast Emulator

Don’t have your ChromeCast Dongle yet? Turn your Android device to become one with CheapCast. Yup, if you happen have 2 Android devices (Nexus Q with TV or Chromebook) at home, try out CheapCast then. It is still in beta stage so it might not work on your devices yet. But this application looks promising. I can turn my Galaxy S4 with MHL 2.0 HDTV Adapter into ChromeCast clone. Of course, actual ChromeCast is easier and cheaper than this combo. But this gives me a chance to try out ChromeCast features without the hardware itself, right?

SLR Camera IR Remote for Galaxy S4 & HTC One

Finally, I found a working infrared remote control for Samsung Galaxy S4. Yup, DSLR Remote by bitshift is the one. And the best part – it is free and no ads. DSLR Remote supports both infrared and cable. You can use DSLR Remote IR Dongle for Android smartphone without built-in infrared. Or use IR Blaster for HTC One and Samsung Galaxy series like Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus, Galaxy Tab 7.7 plus, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Note 10.1 and Galaxy S4. And supports most of the digital SLR out there like Canon, Fujifilm, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony. Yes, it supports my Canon EOS 5D Mark III. I don’t need to bring Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote with me anymore.
