Koushik Dutta’s AllCast app and companion app AllCast Receiver have both received some pretty cool updates today that might entice more people to pick them up tonight.
As for AllCast, todays update brings in a number of things. There are the usual amounts of bug fixes for Roku and Apple TV users along with some for fixes for Dropbox. Koush also lists Media Server browsing improvements as well. While those are always great things to see, it is the recent addition of Twitch.TV to the side bar that is sure to make gamers smile from ear to ear.
As for the AllCast Receiver app. Todays update takes the app backwards in time. Koush has backported the receiver app all the way back to Honeycomb. Now you can get the receiver app installed on those aging Google TV boxes and give them new purpose again. The update also includes, only for Jelly Bean+ devices, Wireless Headphones and Screen mirroring. I assume he means that you can cast from your primary device to another device but listen through the cast device. If that is the case, that means plenty of husbands will be popping in some ear buds late at night.
If you don’t have the updates installed yet then be sure to hit the Play Store and grab them. If you are clueless as to what either of these apps are, then you should take a closer look and grab them both.
