    Could DIAL be the next big thing in smart TV?

    Taiwan based chipmaker MediaTek are predicting the next ‘killer app’ will be a feature that allows smart phones to instantly stream video to smart TVs. 'DIscover And Launch’, or DIAL, takes away the hassle of connecting cables or setting up a password-protected connection between the devices, leaving the user free to beam cat videos straight from teh phone to a big screen;

    2.    Navigate to the TV app
    3.    Launch the TV app
    4.    Navigate to the pairing screen on TV app
    5.    Launch and navigate to the pairing screen on Mobile app
    6.    Input 9-digit pin on Mobile app.
    7.    Tap the Play on TV button on the Mobile app

    With DIAL
    1.    Launch the Mobile app

      But would you be able to tweet while streaming? Maybe after the second screen phenomenon we need a third screen?

      It’s about time. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do this myself (Bluetooth dongle in my TVs USB slot, etc).
