You can do this with Media Server that is already on your phone - http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../usemediaserverxperia/xperia-play?cc=is&lc=is
I don't get it. Why pay money for that device for something you already can do? :S It's like you're advertising..
Or don't know your own phone features

Heh I was gonna say the same thing can be accomplished using a $5 Bluetooth dongle as well.

Yeah I didnt see the price of it when I posted that lol. Had only read the article, what a joke expected it to be £10-£15.
So if I buy a cheap dongle will it just plug and play like that?

I didnt read your link, but if you mean connecting to a wireless network its not the same thing is it.

Not quite...
With all the due respect to your expertise please note:
The mobostick is a fundamentally different device in that it allows complete mobility and functionality. Simply put, you put it in your pocket and can turn ANY USB equipped playback device (anywhere - at your friend's place, in your car or at a boardroom without carrying your TV on your back from home), to a client to your Android smartphone or tablet. No DLNA devices dependencies on full compatibility...
Additionally, you do not need a router either. All you do is turn on your Access Point on your smartphone or Tablet and you have instant connection in the absence of a wifi router....
Also it is not restricted to just media files. It has simplified sharing which allows you to copy wirelessly files from your device and also beam ANY document to a playback device (presentations, spreadsheets etc...).
As you can see, there is no similarities and no restrictions - therefore there are no comparisons... Apples - Oranges or better, Apple - Android....

Can you walk into a friend's place who does not have a Wifi router, , or your car, turn on your Access Point on your device, and playback anything you want in a heterogeneous environment?
In contrast, you plug the mobostick to any USB equipped playback device and share ALL the files you wish from your phone or tablet, anywhere.....

Its nothing to do with having wifi its being able to connect via plug and play to components with a usb that are not on a wifi network.

Hi tech - especially Gen1 devices - have a certain cost to bring to market. Having said that though, when you think that sometimes we shell-out $30 and $40 for a set of hi-end cables for connectivity, it seems inexpensive to spend an additional $20 bucks on a mobostick and have all the wireless connectivity we want, anywhere, and without cables to trip over... Of course, we all have our own budgetary restrictions and it is all a matter of convenience and application.
On another note, you seem to be very well informed as to what is out there that is worth noting...

You have a router in your car?
Guys... you are all smurfs
Mobistick is a super gadget.. you dont know what are you talking about.
You can stream WITHOUT a router or wifi hot spot or anything. It is just connecting your android device without cables to your media player or any capable device that have a USB host and if this device can plays 1080p then you can stream 1080p without the phone to render or decode anything. You can play your game or make calls the same time while someone wathcing a 1080p movie from the storage of your phone.
omg.. you are all dummys

I am confused whether to buy a cheap laptop or wait for Sony Android tablet? I will use it for all office applications and Internet. Advice pls
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Depends how cheap the laptop is.. I love my htc flyer tablet more than anything (thanks to the pen) but there's still many things you wont be able to do as easily as a laptop. If you dont have a pc at all i would recommend the laptop. If you decide to go the tablet route just make sure to browse all tablets before deciding.

I use my tablet for university. Far more portable. Absolutely love it. But in saying that, a laptop it even desktop is far more comfortable for long term typing when you get home. I have my tablet (iconia) sync all my documents with drop box so i can access and transfer as soon as I'm home

Well , it's kind if a "take your pick" situation .
A laptop is good because it is a compact (or rather slightly smaller) version of a desktop , so you can have the features of a desktop at your hands .
A tablet is different . It is a even more compact version of the desktop . While it is more portable , the features may be less than what a laptop can do .
However , it does have some "phone-like" features too , so......goodluck !

Why do you need a "Good Old Analogue" radio when you have a choice of many good Internet radios, that allow you to choose your radio easily, rewind, pause and save radio?
And to just re-iterate my point, you don't need headphones plugged in for the internet radio to work !!!

Neither did my Galaxy Tab, nor does any of the 5 desktop computers in my house, or my mom's Galaxy Prevail, or her laptop. My PSP doesn't have it either, neither do my iPod Nano nor the 3 Shuffles I have. What ever shall I do...
Well...in a point of view you have all right....Just my mind is well...old fashioned...Greetings!!
The last phone of mine that had a radio was Nokia, my N900 (radio had to be unlocked) it even had a FM transmitter, downside with most Nokia phones I used to have was that after 15-30 minutes of talking my ear would have a popping effect as if I was in an aeroplane, plus a rash appeared on my skin where I used to put the phone in my left pocket.......hmmmn I wonder where all those phone radiation stories came from?
Not saying the the radio caused this, I'm just saying.
Although we might have to take into account the country where the OP may be living in as to why they might want an analogue radio.... nah, you can go to the small Caribbean islands off America and be certain they're teched up like anywhere else.

Though I admit radio would be a good addition (N7 being a WiFi only tablet, you can easily find yourself without internet connection), you have to bear in mind that the N7 is a budget product (I know it's easy to forget that seeing how awesome it is). Radio would up the production cost with no extra added value for most people.

I don't see a reason for a radio on the Nexus 7. My Eve 3D has a FM tuner and I never use it anymore.

My old HTC EVO 4G had radio built in but I never used it, mainly because it required me to plug in headphones. Since I couldn't play the radio through the speaker, I never bothered.
Go download TuneIn Radio if you really need local radio stations.

Oh yes, and you know what else it doesn't have; a built in death ray! Who cares? (Although now that I mention it, a death ray WOULD be a pretty sweet feature, lol!)

Nexus one did. Also used for emergency data transmissions and traffic. I think some weather apps pulled info also.

I use Tunein Pro as my radio. It's light on data transmission, has all my local AM/FM stations plus thousands more around the world. I unfortunately doesn't have the DAB+ stations, but then a dedicated chip won't either.
I use my phone as a hotspot when I'm out, so I always have a data connection.

Wish it had working radio. Would be perfect
I'm going to RMA mine until I get one with a working FM tuner. I'm on my 9th RMA so far, no working tuner yet.
The biggest reason I would like an FM radio, in my phone more than my tablet,is that many gyms and similar places broadcast the sound from their TV's over FM.
Hello.
When I use my Bluetooth headphones my wifi cuts out after about 10 minutes, it only affects the nexus because my xbox can still connect as can my 2 computers and laptop.
I know for a fact it's not my internet as my noise margin is currently at 19.5db download and 25.5db for upload.
help please??

Asus, the maker of our N7, had to cut corners to come under $200 mark, so they specc'd a cheap WiFi/Bluetooth chip in the N7. Furthermore, they cut corners on QC, thus the atricious build quality and service issues.

I take this back. It doesn't happen all the time and a reset usually fixes it. Sometimes when I pair my Moga, my play store won't load. I can still surf but some apps wont connect. Rebooting fixes it until I attempt to pair again. Its not every time but about 1 out of 5 times.
I thought it was just the Moga Pivot app at first and I just use the universal driver now... but it still cuts wifi occasionally.
Probably just a quirk with 4.2.1

Enable magic packet/wake on lan (WOL) on your computer
Find an app that can send these magic packets to your sleeping computer

I think it works on ethernet LAN too...not sure on that, though.
