doubleTwist introduces proximity-based media sharing for devices in the home
San Francisco, CA May 10th 2011
doubleTwist, the popular Android media platform with more than 1 million weekly active users, launched two new features for its Android app at Google I/O. This represents a major step forward in its mission to help users organize and enjoy their media across all of their devices as seamlessly and intuitively as possible.
doubleTap enables spontaneous sharing and enjoying of media using NFC
With doubleTap anyone can transfer a video or song between two NFC-enabled devices, such as the Nexus S, simply by tapping them together (photo support is coming soon).
Start playing a song or video in doubleTwist on your Android and tap it against another device. The files will be seamlessly transferred between the two devices using Bluetooth or WiFi.
doubleTwist brings AirPlay to Android for the digital living room
With doubleTwist, an Android device becomes a broadcaster for the devices in your digital living room. Expanding upon its current ability to stream to the Xbox or PS3 with AirTwistTM, “Twist To” enables users to enjoy their music, photos and videos on even more devices.
Using Twist To anyone can stream music, videos or photos from an Android device to an Apple TV or DLNA-enabled TVs. Users can also stream music to their Sonos devices (currently a beta feature).
When doubleTwist recognizes a compatible device on the same WiFi network and you start playing a song or video on your Android, you can stream to that device with a simple tap.
