cos'è Miracast? Se nei primi anni della commercializzazione degli smartphone la concorrenza fra le tante case produttrici era regolato dalla presenza o meno di una caratteristica hardware, negli ultimi mesi stiamo assistendo allo spostamento di questa accanita ricerca tecnologica dalla parte tecnica alla parte software.
Nei nuovi dispositivi presentati per il settore Android, dall’HTC One al Samsung Galaxy S4, ciò che può fare davvero la differenza nella scelta dell’acquirente è quanto sviluppato e completo è il software di cui dispone lo smartphone: più funzionalità, stabilità e versatilità riuscirà ad offrire, più chance avrà di essere scelto dall’utente in una giungla di modelli e diverse interfacce utente personalizzate.
