App idea: Simple share music server (wifi)

Hey all.
How about a simple music server for the G1 that uses a windows compatible file sharing system? (smb?)
I am always at a loss for music to listen to on my laptop, but my G1 has about 10 gigs of music on it.. it would be great to have an app that shared this out simply, and allowed my windows box to browse the contents of the phone without having to tether via usb.
By the by, I'm available to any developers out there who need animation / graphics for Android apps / games. Get in touch via my website at cartoonmonkey dot com.

That would completely rape your battery, you'd need to have it plugged in after an hour or two. Why not just use a USB cord?
If there's anyone doing the opposite of this, and wants to listen to music on their G1 that's stored on the PC, check out five: http://code.google.com/p/five/
Unfortunately there's only a Linux server atm.

Use Orb.com works great for me, can view my web cam, open any picture, most videos, and get all the music from it.

Wirelessly Mirror Android on Projector?

Does anyone know if it's possible to basically "stream" the screen to a projector? I'm thinking of an app that would have a server running on the desktop PC, where the Nook would wirelessly connect to that PC and display the screen of the Android on the projector.
Does anyone know if this is possible, or if there is an "app for that"?

i dont think the nook is suited for that kind of activity, you would need something like the droidx, which has a mini-hdmi output, then you can get an app to mirror the screen.
im not really sure of the benefit of streaming an android screen to a projector when the whole computer is there available to you? if its an issue of video content, there are a lot of other solutions that would work, if nothing else, a usb cable to mount the nook and access the video files through a desktop application

I think there are vnc servers for Android phones. If you need this for any video, it'll probably suck.

The main use case is for during a presentation, to be able to see the slides as they are shown on the projector, and potentially see the notes and such. It would be a super bonus to be able to make notations/drawings, etc., during the powerpoint if that's possible.

a more hardcore solution
not sure if this would help, but I came across a similar problem where I was doing a presentation so I wrote an air app for my galaxy tab, and one for a mac running a projector and used the netconnection and netgroup classes to send position and navigation data from one to the other. Have a look at the RTMFP protocol

This also works on N7 2012 devices? anyone tried?

Seems like a reasonable idea and someone was bound to come up with it eventually. It's not too expensive but there are many other cheaper ways to do the same job.

Does it work with the nexus 5?

I have seen these. I would like to know if the Leef products actually work on a Nexus 7 2013.
Does anyone have 1st hand experience with these?

[Q] Best way to sync with PowerMac G5?

Yesterday I finally got an HTC One. It's the first time I've actually had a smartphone with a data plan or a contract. Anyways I was wondering what would be the best way to sync files, specifically iTunes music, from a PowerMac G5 with OSX 10.5 Leopard. Most syncing applications wont work with such an old computer, including HTC's nice little application. I have a newer computers; a MacBook with Snow Leopard and a ThinkPad X201T with Windows 7. I would rather use the PowerMac to sync music to the phone, though, since it has my iTunes library and it would be a huge hassle to transfer it to another computer (literally 12,000 songs).

Macbook Air vs Chromebook...which is for me?

Hi. I'm looking to replace my ageing 2011 Macbook Air with a brand new 2014 Chromebook. They are becoming more popular not just because they are cheap but because of their simplicity and ease of use (much easier i heard than a Mac) but my questions are related to what i normally do on my Macbook which i got because of the OS being more simplier and easy to use than a Windows laptop.
(1) Can I send files via bluetooth from my Android phone to a Chromebook and save it on the hard drive?
(2) Can I save files from my camera's microSD card to a Chromebook and save it on the HDD?
(3) I like downloading on the internet via Torrent sites. Is a Chromebook capable of doing that similar to what a Macbook Air can do?
(4) Can I save documents written via Google Drive (or similar third-party apps) on the HDD for future use/reference?
(5) Is there a Google Voice Search on a Chromebook much like an Android tablet?
(6) Is there voice typing commands on a Chromebook?
(7) Can I do wireless printing on my Chromebook to my HP wifi/wireless printer? How easy is it to connect a Chromebook to a wireless printer?
(8) I noticed Chromebook are very limited in storage. I feel 16GB might be not enough with my other big files such as Flac music albums or MKV movies. Is there a cloud storage I can safely & securely “store” them so I can access them anytime and anywhere?
(9) Would it matter if I get an Intel Celeron, Haswell or an Exynos processor Chromebook? Very limited availability in PCWORLD. I need something with a battery life of 6 hours or more.
(10) When i connect a hard drive where does it actually show up or how can i find my files from the "desktop" ? Is there a file manager or Finder like the Macbook?
(11) Can i organise files & apps on a Chromebook (and clump them into categories) much like what you can do on an iOS or Android phone?
Please advice. Thanks.
